+Stuff that could make work on Emacs itself more smooth.
+
+* Changelog
+** action-stamps
+I don't know any function to
+
+1. generate them from a Git commit, a *vc-change-log* buffer…
+2. convert them back to a Git commit, a *vc-diff* buffer…
+
+They can almost be generated with:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+git show --no-patch              \
+         --date=format:"%FT%T%z" \
+         --format=format:"%ad!%ae"
+#+END_SRC
+
+Except that [[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339][RFC3339]] says:
+
+#+BEGIN_QUOTE
+   time-numoffset  = ("+" / "-") time-hour ":" time-minute
+#+END_QUOTE
+
+While ~%z~ yields "+hhmm" or "-hhmm".  Also [[http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=3872][ESR wants Zulu time]].
+
+See bug#20609.
+
+* Bug tracker
+** Asynchronous client
+It would be wonderful if ~debbugs-gnu~ and ~debbugs-gnu-search~ used
+their own thread/process to wait & process the server's response,
+instead of forcing me to twiddle my thumbs for minutes.
