This is something I think we could really improve upon... For one, I
think the impression (right or wrong) is that Bruce is the person
that gets say on what goes on the TODO. We also don't have any good
mechanism for general users to provide feedback on what things are
important to them. Of course it's ultimately about a developer
scratching an itch, but I think it would be useful to have some idea
of how popular TODO items were to help guide development efforts, as
well as possibly target items that should just be removed.
