Do you actually expect someone to go thru the 400+ items in the database
and compare them to the TODO list? Seems to me that's something the
maintainer of the TODO list would be doing. Can you point me to the form
that gets something on the TODO list that the average user can use? Can
you guarantee every bug will end up on the TODO list? Can you point me
to the place on the TODO list when a user can look at to see if a bug has
been fixed or even reported?

You're making more of an issue with all of this than there is. The TODO
list has a purpose, as does CVS, as do the mailing lists, as does the
regression database, as does the bugs database, as do the interactive
docs, ...
