This is why they have software management tools. He's not having to fret over remembering every feature and bug fix request. If he was he'd have jumped off a bridge long ago! From what I understand there is a full software development management environment in place which is probably part of the reason why bugs can at times poke their heads back up... I've done that before where I check out the wrong version of a certain file and oops here comes back a bug. But those types of things are usually pretty easy to correct with a good source management tool.
Anyway... Don't worry too much about giving the things to worry about... I think us all sitting quietly and waiting would REALLY freak out the guys at Elecraft... The wouldn't know what to do with themselves if we were actually behaved!
