Why is the TODO list keep in the source code repository, anyway? One
alternative would be to move it to a wiki. That would allow other people
to contribute to maintaining the list, with less procedural overhead.
The GCC folks do this, for example: example: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/

I agree with this. It would add visibility to what the direction of PostgreSQL as well as put a friendly face on what the heck is happening.

I get a lot of calls that are basically, "What's coming in 8.2" Unless I follow the lists it is not an easy bit of information to get. A wiki that had
a page that said, "What's planned for 8.2!" or would be great!

It would also be useful to see who has signed on as the lead or to work on a particular subproject in case other developers would like to either lead or help a lead on the project.

I would request a vote interface but I think we would get to many mysqlisms ;)

I don't see that we're "covered": sure, it's documented that people
ought to ask on -hackers first, but this exact situation has happened
several times in the past. Avoiding that would be a good thing,
documentation or no.

Agreed.
