The description for Medium term also mentions funding: "These projects have
funding or commitments from developers, but are larger projects that will
take more time. They should get on for 2.0 or 2.1"

The intro to the page does a pretty good job; I just skipped over it until
now (bad jody no cookie).
My preference would be a nice little picture saying "funding opportunity"
(or the slightly nicer "volunteer needed" ). This could be contrasted with
associating a contact person or organization next to the items in the short
term roadmap?
The intro did a good job of stating that these items have no set schedule;
and if you are interested in having any of these features available in a
set time line you should talk to the community volunteering or commercial
development options.
