I think that bug management is an important part of keeping a projects
current issues in a clear state - managing the bug list is a significant
amount of work, and anything you care to do will be appreciated. I'm
sure that there *may* be disagreements on exactly how that management
should look, but rather than prejudge that - just go for it!

With regards to the bug lists, some bugs will be 'we should think about
X later' style bugs, and I think they are best translated into specs
(https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+specs) so that we think about them
without adding noise to the list of actual defects.
