Here's our current 3.6 plan list of larger enhancements/tasks.  Right 
now, we have 4 1/2 of these done... maybe we'll get a couple more in 
before the end of the week.  They've been moving along somewhat slowly 
for various reasons.

For larger enhancements, specifically these ones singled out for the 
3.6 release, I wonder if it would help to assign a guide or harvester 
as a "shepherd" for each one.  Someone who would be responsible for 
tracking progress on the enhancement and deciding when enough review 
has happened and when it's ready to go in.  Right now, there's not 
really anyone responsible for most of these, so it sort of falls to me 
to make sure something happens, or a random person complaining on one 
of the mailing lists.  I don't really have time to handle all of these 
myself.

I remember Goran hinted at something like this with his PROP proposal 
or whatever it was.  But just something simple like assigning people to 
shepherd these items might help things get done.

Does this make sense?
