Right now I have bugs that shall be fixed to the release (just found out I forgot to do the UTF-8 in selection thingy), bugs/features that are for after the release, and bugs that are hard to reproduce, but are on some kind of watch-list. A database would be a good place to clearly mark the type of bug/feature request, and the planned release. A more structured FOR-RELEASE, but not just for the next release. It would hopefully be easier to search and browse than my inbox + Emacs mailing lists. Jan D.
