Team list is like the core list - it's for patches needed to be 
approved. All other discussion goes in the project list.

As someone who runs a DAM installation with 2000 new items daily, I 
understand the concern. However, I don't see this as a blocker - since 
its only one functionality that's affected.

Well, if you supply the patch, we can look at how much change and 
testing is required, and based on that include it either in 1.1 or 1.2
There are a couple bugs outstanding for 1.1 - and they need approval in 
this list. Documentation is the major task that needs to be done, and it 
is in process right now. So 1.1 is nearly complete.
