The value in documenting it is that the general awareness about the 
progress of development is raised, so more people know where and how to 
get involved, as opposed to only three people knowing and the rest 
finding out one month after feature freeze that the patch isn't ready.

Fair enough.  Perhaps we should find others with ideas about better 
tracking and the willingness to implement them.
