I am listening, and what I hear so far about "Identify Needs":

1A* Mail list to accept attachments
1B* Patch management: accepted, rejected, pending
1C* Tracking issue changes need to be echoed into a mailing list
1D* stability of site (if it is measurable)


I don't have a problem with the current wiki. So I can't see where we 
need to add anything regarding the wiki.

I did not get a warm feeling about Trac's abiltity to handle 1B.
