I have looked through all COLLADA bugs in the bug tracker, both open and closed, and divided them into two categories: bugs in the existing functionality (I called them "core bugs", because I think they are the part of the main functionality, which has to constantly work well) and features not yet implemented.
The result you can see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BPNqt9j3lASpfqbi17JUQawNLeahpjAVrbor7eSV_N8/edit .
