Yeah this is what I mean.

> To be honest, I just save all that stuff in text files in the same repo as the code (though usually in a specific directory at the root of the project.) I have some tools that pull meta-data out of text files so I can query them for things like "give me a list of open items" or "give me a list of items tagged with a specific release target."

I love the idea of managing stuff in plain text, will have to try something like this out. Do you have the code up anywhere?
