I have to say I've wondered about this myself.

Regarding 'who' moves them:  I assume you are asking about policy rather
than technical capability.  Unless you are doing this some way I'm not
aware of anyone who has write capability can do it.  In terms of policy
I would be comfortable mapping it to capability, which is to say that
all core-devs can move packages from inbox to trunk.

That said, you bring up a good point regarding tracking what has been
done.  As it stands you have to see what is in inbox and then look at
the listing in trunk to see if that file is in the listing there.  Of
course that ignores the possibility that it's not actually in the
ancestry of the current latest version and is ultimately overlooked that
way.  It would also be useful to provide some easy feedback for those
submitting issues to the inbox indicating when their submission has been
accepted.  Perhaps it's time for our own SqueakSource branch.
