I must agree. The openness of the -core list is unrelated to a todo list 
and should be considered as a separate issue.

The person who maintains to todo list must have to support/guidance of the 
core developers and should have access to the -core list to ensure that the 
todo list does not conflict with the direction that -core is going.  The 
obvious way to accomplish this would be to have one of the core members 
maintain the todo list.  This is exactly the type of non-technical routine 
work that the todo list is designed to off load from the core group. Only 
the core developers can decide what direction that they want to go on that one.
