Another thing that might be nice is more integration with bugzilla.  Is there a way for bugzilla to send a weekly update to xorg-devel which details high priority (blocker, tentpole feature, performance) bugs in the 1.11 milestone?  That would certainly help things from falling through the cracks and may guide new developers looking for something to tackle.
