That list is just our reference and a repository of ideas that came up
in the discussions.  The real requirements are simpler:

  . we must have support for feature we have now on debbugs
  . we should decide which additional features are the absolute
    minimum to justify the switch (those which will attract
    contributors, make feedback easier, and help people who are more
    used to PR-type workflow)
  . all the other features that debbugs doesn't have are a bonus, but
    not hard requirements
