Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

There isn't always a correlation between strength and rarity for other weapons and it really isn't necessary, because the tendency of rare weapons/weapons that appear later in the game to be stronger still exists. It's not like long swords (or maces or tridents) are meaningless because there is still a significant number of games where you don't find a scimitar before a long sword, and then you have to deal with that - even if it isn't the norm.
