@Jeff, I don't know if you are aware but we do have a road map[1] for documenting changes like this rather than constantly updating a bug report. The source for the road map is in the kicad source folder Documentation/ development/ road-map- r6.md. There is already a section for UI improvements[2].
The other option which has been discussed is to use a launchpad blueprint[3] which can be linked to this bug report. We haven't used blueprints to their full effect but they may actually be a better way to document new features and changes rather than making changes to the code base every time we want to change the road map. The list of kicad blueprints[4] is rather long and unfortunately there is no way to prevent them from being publicly modified but the same is true for bug reports.
I'm fine with using a bug report but there are other options which may provide a better work flow.
