I would like to, but I don't currently.

Yes.

One thing I'd like is to be able to list any string, not just: CARD-NNN
id and then have the BPs with those strings listed coupled together. This
would enable us to group all efforts together. In addition, I'd like an
extension to the BPs to parse due dates from WIs. So a WI could have:

This is my work item (2012/10/1): TODO

Then each WI would be listed in due date order.

To quote asac, we just need to figure out a good way to due work
accounting, this thing took this long by these people and it was for this
project.

In addition, we need someway to list "private activities" in the same way
we list public activities.

With my sometimes PM hat on, what would be really great is if everything
could be rolled up into a big Gantt chart no matter where work is getting
tracked.
