Hy there!
Unfortunately, the PRs are locked, so I'm sharing my thoughts this way.
Over the years, people have asked countless times on various platforms how
to import private keys (both legacy and Bech32/SegWit) into a Bitcoin Core
descriptor wallet. This issue is especially common in Namecoin. I see no
reason why importing private keys, a very basic feature, should be
restricted to the point that it's impossible for the average user to
succeed. That's why I created the Core-Wallet-Migration-Tools
<https://github.com/blocktraveler/Core-Wallet-Migration-Tools> in Python.
However, it would be much easier to have an 'importprivkeys' RPC for
descriptor wallets (not to be confused with the legacy 'importprivkey'
call). Pls check my initial thoughts:
Proposal: Add importprivkeys RPC (helper for WIF → descriptor import)

Thx!
