At risk of being chastised for reviving old issues, I was wondering,
what are the chances were of getting the dump / restore selectivity into
8.2 ? I am referring to the idea that, instead of the current 2 parts, a
dump could be broken up into 3 parts, namely tables, data and everything
else, so that data from one dump could be mixed and matched with schema
defs from another dump easily and scriptably.

I think the previous discussion concluded that the functionality would
be best implemented as a selective restore, rather than a breakable dump
due to the risk of inconsistent restores, so you could restore just the
tables, data or "everything else" components from a given dump.

Did this item make it onto the to-do list? If so, did anyone pick this
up or will I be waiting until a future as-yet-undefined date?

More generally, is there a publicly accessible place one can see the
to-do items, who has adopted which ones and what the status is on them?
Sorry for asking this, but I am still a rather new participant in here.
