Does anyone else find having a single 'Future EAPI' tracker slightly
inconvenient?

I'd see us better served by having multiple tracker bugs, something
like:

* Unclassified Future EAPI
* Distant Future EAPI
* Feasibly Considerable for Next EAPI
* Active Consideration for EAPI 4

Bugs would go in as Unclassified. Every now and again the PMS team would
then go through and reclassify them (mostly based upon Portage team
feedback) as either Distant Future or Feasibly Considerable for Next.

When we start work on EAPI 4, we'll move some of Feasibly Considerable
to Active Consideration. As the process goes on and the list gets
narrowed down based upon Council votes and the like, we kick things
back to Unclassified Future.

Or would this be done better using the status whiteboard thing rather
than trackers?

Yes, I also think this could be improved.

Tracker bugs tend to produce bug spam, and reclassifying between
different trackers will normally result in three e-mail messages being
sent.

Sounds good. Or maybe keep the global tracker bug, and additionally
classify using the whiteboard.

 The whiteboard is a good place, the security team has some experience
with that, but a tracker bug is fine, too.
