Well, yes the BTS is ready for most of it, what would be missing is some
kind of summary or status report, with the RC bugs all listed (we have
that already, right), but also a way to say i will be working on it, to
see if many other people do to, and maybe some information about the
activity of a bug report (like when was the last time someone
contributed to it, that is, mailed to the bugreport). I guess you can
also already register to a bug report (not the whole package, just the
bug report) and to be included in activity on this bugreport, forming a
mini-mailing list for solution of this bug.
