Yes. I think bugz should be able to do that. Basically all it would need is 
some component to administer upcoming revisions and attach 
bugs/wishes/planned features to them (basically a roadmap system). I've 
worked with a trac install in the past and it integrates stuff like that 
pretty conveniently.

I agree. Working with such a system takes more time and is a little more 
tedious than just keeping your local todo file and I'm not sure everyone 
would adopt it. However it provides some more transparency and might reduce 
uninformed rant. It might also provide a "todo basket" for developers who 
like it (could collect bugs you'd like to fix and features/wishes you'd like 
to implement by just moving them on your todo/roadmap list).

Judging from what Anne and Aaron (iirc) wrote there are also people who'd like 
to mediate between users and developers so maybe there's also someone who'd 
like to help those developers who don't have time to work all their stuff 
into bugz and keep it up-to-date - sort of like a bugsquad for roadmaps :)
