hmm there was a kj wiki for more than a year,
but the usage was _quite_ moderate..
(Randy may tell more, he did all the updates there).
a bugzilla is even more managment overhead,
don't think it will just fly.

the bonus of the TODO file is the quick
overview: it's really easy to pick up a new task.
thanks to that kj gets more easily new contributors.

the cvs todo file is quite easy to update,
just check it out and send a diff to the 
list and it get updated. (we've seen nice
updates the last month :)

use of bugzilla.kernel.org is encouraged, 
there are very active bug owner there.
why duplicate that effort?
