+1 for indicating the person currently working on the issue, we can just open a JIRA issue for each of these. And we can clearly indicate that other features are not being currently worked on.
How about indicating rough time goals (quarters) for issues that are currently being worked on (of course with the concern of the assignee)? I have a problem with priorities: the only priorities I see right now are P1 (someone is working on this) and P2 (noone is working on this), and this information is already conveyed by the JIRAs. We can come up with a more detailed priority scheme, but would this be easier to implement than date-to-complete goals?
