Short Term

Better search

We'll have SearchKeywords that will make it easy to look through other users' bugs.

More trackers

GitHub support will be added first. Others will follow depending on how much of a pain it is to set up a test install

Medium Term

Scripting support

Being able to script certain actions (assigning bugs, resolving bugs, setting priorities etc) would be a great feature, particularly if they could be run automatically after updating

"Global Dashboard"

People with smaller bug trackers might want to see all of the new bugs so they can assign them to other users quickly.

  • Extra nice feature: integration with address books

Bug Submission

Handle the submission of new bugs, not just work with existing bugs.

Long Term

Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can. - Jamie Zawinski

Plugins

Adding support for a tracker right now is not very easy - the core display app and the database are tightly coupled to the tracker backends. It would be great to break the backend part into plugins, and make it possible for users to create their own tracker backends with a scripting language, rather than needing C++ knowledge.
