While I will post my thoughts to Google Moderator to support ranking, the issue persists. 

A centralized backlog is the only way to capture a single trusted source of opps for improvement.

It is good as a storage place, though: so if we identify a good workflow to process the Google Moderator feedback and convert it to concrete actions, we could repeat it with your list; but for the time being it would likely be more effective to have everything in one place at Google Moderator.

I agree, the wiki is difficult to keep  aligned with current effort. However, it's all we have. I will do my best to trace all ideas between moderator, wiki and Bugzilla.
