I'd like to consider whether the  Community Wiki might work better for
project planning.  I certainly see the requirement that documentation
be created by those who have signed the iCLA, especially documentation
which is included in a release.  That is called out on the CWIKI FAQs
[1]

"the touch point is whether you want to reserve the right to bundle
the documentation with a release and/or check a copy into an ASF
repository"

Although documentation certainly falls into that category, I don't see
why project planning does.  In fact, as we trying to coordinate the
migration of the OpenOffice.org website, I think we'll need to
coordinate with various groups, not all of whom are committers, and
some of which are still evaluating whether they will join the project
or continue their work elsewhere.  So I think that for the near term
at least, such project planning is best done in a space where anyone
can participate.  Since these plans do not get checked into SVN, or
become part of the release, I don't see how this could be a problem,
