Here's mine:

  - Usable via email.  I hate having the log into SF to add a comment,
    post a new patch, report or close a bug.  Roundup works this way
    already so this should be an easy one. :-)
 
  - It should be possible to close bugs by adding some magic to the CVS
    checkin message.  Debian uses the Perl regex:

         /closes:\s*(?:bug)?\#\s*\d+(?:,\s*(?:bug)?\#\s*\d+)*/ig

    I would prefer something simpler like:

        re.compile("closes:\s*#\d+(,\s*#\d+)*", re.I)

That's all I can think of for now.
