Right now, I think that torches are quite boring. You make them and then they just sit there adding light. While it is nice to have light most of the time, I think these additions to torches would make them a lot better.
1. When you are holding a torch, it should light up the space around you like a torch does when placed (kind of like in Terraria).
2. When you place a torch, it should start out unlit. Then, you have to light it with a flint and steel.
3. Torches go out at a random time (between, say, 10 and 100 Minecraft days) and then have to be re-lit.
4. (This isn't an addition to torches themselves) Torches should have optional (or non-optional) torch mounts for walls and maybe ceilings and floors.
Hope you liked these ideas, and if someone from Mojang is seeing this, please consider this!
Thanks!
P.S. post your torch ideas here.

This has been suggested many, many, many, many times. Quite frankly I feel if it were going to be added it would have been by now.
2. When you place a torch, it should start out unlit. Then, you have to light it with a flint and steel.
What's that? You have a new Minecraft world? LOLSUCKSTOSUCK NO TORCHES FUR YOO!
3. Torches go out at a random time (between, say, 10 and 100 Minecraft days) and then have to be re-lit.
This was planned for the Halloween update in Alpha as well as lanterns which act like torches normally do. See point #1.
4. (This isn't an addition to torches themselves) Torches should have optional (or non-optional) torch mounts for walls and maybe ceilings and floors.
And what would this actually add to torches?

The problem with the truth, is that it never lies.
2 and 3. These were considered by Mojang, and the community overwhelming rejected them.

"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best."
It would be great to have cool stone mounts that light up to have in Strongholds. Coal on sticks just doesn't suit Strongholds.
Also, I wouldn't really mind having to light torches, although you should be able to do it by scratching it against stone or something; having to wait until you have flint and steel is pretty non-user friendly. Also, I agree to torches blowing out, but that randomness should only kick in when it's snowy. When it rains, the torches would instantly go out.
Also torches lighting when in your hand: definitely. This should go for all light sources. Right now I just use Dynamic Lights for that, but I hope it gets added into vanilla MInecraft with as much optimisation as possible.
Right now, I think that torches are quite boring.What do you want? It's a torch... You make them and then they just sit there adding light. Which is the point of it, a light source. While it is nice to have light most of the time, I think these additions to torches would make them a lot better.
1. When you are holding a torch, it should light up the space around you like a torch does when placed (kind of like in Terraria).
I have to say I support this, although redundant.
2. When you place a torch, it should start out unlit. Then, you have to light it with a flint and steel.
So no torches until you find some gravel and iron? Okay, no.
3. Torches go out at a random time (between, say, 10 and 100 Minecraft days) and then have to be re-lit.
Oh great, something else to drive me crazy in Creative mode.

Putting a torch on the ceiling, how would that work?

1. The lighting engine in MC really isn't built to handle moving light sources. All the light data is baked into the block data and updated via a cellular automation rather than being pulled from the actual light sources.
2. Adding extra steps to do something simple isn't making the game more interesting, it's making the game more tedious. Tedious != Fun. Realistic != Fun.
3. Because having to go through and re-light torches would be so much fun. See my above comment re-tedium.
4. Some variety in mounting options or different art options for the torches might be nice for builders and creative people.
5. You know we DO have a suggestion forum?

Tis far better to be a witty fool than a foolish wit.
Suggestions should be posted in the suggestions forum section. You are required to use the search function before creating new suggestion topics so that duplicate topics are not created for the same ideas. There are already numerous topics discussing portable torches/lanterns, torches burning out, and manually lighting torches.

#4 would add aesthetics...that's all...for maps and stuff, you know?
