It is valid to put tags "owner" and "pending" in the Debian BTS.

We can't close bugs through the changelog until the first release goes
to sid, which will be the official upstream release of 7.4, so we do
need to keep track of them.  Therefore in your changelog entries, please
mention the bug number while avoiding using "closes: #xxxxxx".  I
suspect a lot of the old bugs that should have been closed have been
left because I didn't do that in previous pre-release versions.

I'm sorry you don't like the tracker, Martin, but it does provide the
best way for us to keep track of who is doing what.  Really, it only
needs a single line to say that BTS #xxxxxx is this Alioth bug.  The
Alioth tracker lets us classify bugs more precisely and set priorities. 
I think that I will start going back through and assigning BTS bugs into
the tracker.  I will add a short message in the BTS to say what the
Alioth tracker number is.

Surely you don't mean that you want to put the mailing list archive into
CVS?  If you want to make a debian/TODO file, go ahead.
