 Send emails before they were done :D
 Use a VCS for in-progress activities
 Figure out how to serialize and submit the work done locally
 Share results with interested parties off-tracker (e.g., the
auto-nosy mentioned up-thread)

Right now, more efficient searching and aggregation along with some
(local, flexible) UI tweaks sum it up.

Maybe I can offer a patch for something like PyPI's 'simple' interface?
