I would expect this to be the case here as well. In this case, the
developer with primary responsibility for a specific app would probably
be the one suggesting the most things. But at least he has a place to
keep these thoughts, where they are available for comment. It is meant
to be informal. A place to keep statements like "Wouldn't it be nice if
the app did X?". or "Why does this app do X when that other app also
does X?"

We had thought of a bugzilla dedicated to TODO items. We are using
Bugzilla for defect and customer-related issues. But I do not think
Bugzilla lends itself to this.
