I don't think we've discussed it anywhere yet (unless I mentioned it to Ezio on IRC), but there are some issues around dependency display that could conceivably be handled downstream. The main one is showing which bugs a given bug is *blocking* - that is, those which depend on the bug you're currently looking at. Another nice-to-have from my perspective would be the ability to add a new comment without having to scroll back to the top of the discussion. Unfortunately, I suspect those would also qualify as being projects best tackled under the Roundup banner, and I don't think it would be fair to ask a GSoC student to do that without a mentor that was already part of the upstream Roundup community that could facilitate getting their patches to a point where they were ready to be merged.
