Yeah, it happens that way for me too. The other huge, huge problem with
it is the lack of stability of URLs for the items in the list, which
makes it difficult to identify which item you're talking about.

Personally I'd be happier with an editable wiki page consisting of links
to the original messages in the mail list archives, plus free-format
annotations (such as status). This should be trivial to set up and
reasonably flexible. With experience we might find we need something
fancier, but let's not overdesign our solution at the start.
