Yeah, this has been done before. It's a hard thankless job.

Let's discuss each item here first.

I don't love this wiki page, but I'm not sure a generic bugtracker is
going to be better. One good thing is that there would be some history
behind each item that's added and closed, but bugtrackers have lots of
features and I think it's going to become a stinking mess pretty
quickly.
