If you are offering to write code to do some of these tasks that's great.  If
not, then the danger of making the discussion so general is that it detracts
from the specific proposals and nothing gets done.  I think the priority must
be first to use a modern bug tracker and VCS for Emacs development.
Integrating these and other features into Emacs are more substantial tasks that
can be done when volunteers are found.
