FWIW I think such a database (Bugzilla?) would help.  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.
