[mythtv] Can't we use Bugzilla on mythtv.org to keep things a bitmore structured?

We know that, that wasn't the point of tis whole discussion, it's about 
people maybe _wanting_  to help _you_ with your list. Of course this is 
not about you and your list specifically, but about the fact that it 
could be useful to have a list of issues (for example BugZilla, but 
anything more structured than the current situation would do) that 
people with a little time on their hand but no "pet peeves" could look 
at and use to start working on Myth. This discussion is specifically 
_not_ about people whining about "I want, I want, no I _need_ feature X!".
