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=
=20
to import private keys (both legacy and Bech32/SegWit) into a Bitcoin Core=
=20
descriptor wallet. This issue is especially common in Namecoin. I see no=20
reason why importing private keys, a very basic feature, should be=20
restricted to the point that it's impossible for the average user to=20
succeed. That's why I created the Core-Wallet-Migration-Tools=20
<https://github.com/blocktraveler/Core-Wallet-Migration-Tools> in Python.
However, it would be much easier to have an 'importprivkeys' RPC for=20
descriptor wallets (not to be confused with the legacy 'importprivkey'=20
call). Pls check my initial thoughts:
Proposal: Add importprivkeys RPC (helper for WIF =E2=86=92 descriptor impor=
t)=20

Thx!
