I very much agree. > Does that move us in the direction of the patch tracker?

Especially if the wiki is equipped with clever templates for doing same*. When you consider the hours spent reading and understanding existing code, making changes and compiling/recompiling/regression testing that a patch author needs to do in order to even create a patch, the extra five minutes it takes to add a line to a wiki table doesn't really signify. And pretty much pays for itself in terms of the immediate satisfaction of knowing that your patch is now safely in the correct queue.
