[Kernel-janitors] bugzilla instead of TODO?

Is there any reason not to use bugzilla in place of a todo list?
It would, at least:
1. make it easier to find out who, if anyone, is working on a todo item,
2. make it easier to assign oneself to an item,
3. make it easier to add items and
4. make it easier for the "powers that be" to prioritize items.

These are, after all, bugs.  Not necessarily show-stoppers, but bugs
nonetheless.  I was thinking of a separate, k-j bugzilla and not use
the existing bugzilla.kernel.org copy if you want to keep things
separate.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend using it for patch submission.

Just what you need, one more thing to add to the TODO list.
(Hah! Squashed that joke before someone else got to it.)

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?

will it be  sacrilegious to suggest to use bitkeeper for the todo ?
