Query tickets and commits by product, component, status, assignee, keywords, relationships, codebase, sprint/iteration / Search code review, bugs, user stories, translation discussions

Assign an item to a user

Assign a ticket to a (dated) milestone / sprint / Add deadlines to items

Accept and reject — e. g.: mark as invalid/wontfix) an item (with justification)

Users must be able to:

Create new item (feature, task, bug)

Discuss an item

Manipulate cards visually in swim lanes

Users would like to be able to:

Users must be able to:

Monitor and report project results and objective criteria achievement

Attach code to tickets

Users must be able to:

View who created an item, and who was working on it last

View the history of charges in a item's life cycle (creation, major swim lane moves like 'Pending Code Review' and 'Deployed,' change of priority/keyword, etc.)

Get a complete — i. e.: mostly automated — list, if not explanatory release notes, for all relevant items included in any given release/deploy of their interest.

Users would like to be able to:

View a ticket's history in place

Users must be able to:

Review and approve code before merging into master

Interact with a git instance

Restrict code merge ability to team members

Run automated checks (linting, etc.) and tests (unit, integration, browser, …) when code commits are submitted, amended, and approved (and block merge on this basis)

Edit patches/code in their browser

Automatically RESOLVE bugs when the code is merged, maybe using "Closes Bug: ####" as commit message

Users would like to be able to:

Automatically mark issues and features as 'deployed to production' when they are deployed

Users must be able to:

Allow any user to file a new bug

Let anyone (who isn't a spammer/vandal) comment on the bug

Let anyone read any (non-private) task ticket and all statuses

Have equal permissions even if they're just new users, rather than being punished for registering an account after year 200x (example for bugzilla: let all editbugs users add editbugs to other users.)

Users would like to be able to:

Lock an item from further discussion once closed (maybe after some period of time?)

Allow any user to generate an idea for a new user story

File a task using their SUL login transparently
