Can currently be accomplished with external (to Fossil) service, using, for
example, Fossil's RSS feed to trigger email generation.

I have done this. The part that didn't work at the time was the list for
the drop down had to be maintained manually. This might be possible, now. I
don't know if the TH1 query function allows reading the user table.

Still could be done via a custom field. Though maintaining the list for the
drop down needs admin access to the
Fossil repo.

If the TH1 query function can read user defined tables, then the list could
be maintained via SQL updates.

You mean like linking to users's "walls"?

Tickets descriptions and comments can contain wiki mark-up.

Not sure I agree. While making corrections might be nice, I think comments
are better for describing an evolving situation.

In the description and comments, other tickets can be linked,, as can wiki
pages and commits.

Would be nice if other fields could link as well.

Anyway, could create a child ticket using Javascript to populate a new
ticket with defaults derived from the currently viewed ticket.
