Tracking this as an issue and using some milestone mechanism seems
sensible. Thanks for the suggestion. I am afraid that with bugzilla this
may get easily forgotten, but when issues are migrated to gitlab we'll
give it a shot.

It's ok to add them as points if you are doing some major changes that
definately should not be forgotten. They will get updated, reformatted
and cleaned up for the release anyway.
