You want to remove Votes? I've been asking SourceForge to add it for
years. It's a very useful way to prioritize your work.

4. Perhaps slightly more controversially, I would also like to
get rid of the 'Task Manager' and 'Patch Tracker' in favour of
migrating the handful of items in there into the 'Bug Tracker'.
I think that (especially for the patch tracker) the distinction
is largely artificial and it makes much more sense to just have
one list which tracks everything.

Interesting idea. However, at least for the MH-E project, I like
having the distinction of Bugs, Feature Requests, and Patches. That
lets me prioritize the items. I tend to attack the Patches first
because it's less work for me, and I like to give the submitters
gratitude as soon as I can. Then the (bad) bugs next. And then the
cool feature requests.

Unless anybody complains, I'm probably going to do at least
items 1..3 in the near future (ie before the end of the
Christmas holidays...)

Snooze, I lose :-).
