Re: TODO list (was Re: Contributing with code)

I think deleting the TODO list is a bad idea -- it contains very useful
pointers to previous discussion on hard topics.

This text was added by [1] as saying:
> This list contains '''some known PostgreSQL bugs and feature
> requests''' and we hope it contains all such
(before this, it said "all known Pg bugs" which seemed too optimistic,
so the correction was in a good direction) and later amended by [2] to
the current wording ("This list contains '''known PostgreSQL bugs and
feature requests''' and we hope it is complete"). I think [1]'s wording
was okay, but the other one not so much.

I rewrote the text. I thought about presenting my draft here first, but
hey, it's a wiki.
