No, but I need to make one when I find some time.  There is the road map
in the dev docs but it's a bit out of date.  I'm going to try to get the
stable release 5 road map done over the Christmas break as part of my
FOSDEM presentation prep.  This road map will have the major changes
slated for the current development cycle.  I may throw together a tiered
todo list based on difficulty and add it to the dev docs.  I've had some
stuff in my own todo list for years so maybe someone else will find the
time to do them.

It is but it has to be done.  I am not comfortable stacking more feature
code on top of the Eeschema low level code we have right now.
