I started one at

I can't answer those. I just copied them into the Wiki hoping someone
will.

I added to the wiki a few links:
- my ben page. Similar to release team's page but it shows which package
  moved to 1.0 and which more towards 1.1. (updated ~17.15 UTC).

- BTS user tags bugs. All bugs reported by Kurt and myself were user
  tagged.
