are you thinking about something like
http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/Todo:WishlistFor83 on steriods
(ie with more references to actual patches and discussion and
explaination of functionality) or something completely different ?
I'm a bit unsure on how this webpage would differ from a typical
bugtracker ...
Maybe you could give a concrete example for a particular patch in the
queue so that everybody can follow ?
