Please accept my apologies for this trivial question...
I have been reading through the TODO items for the last couple of days
and I couldn't stop wondering whether there is history of discussion
kept or logged about the TODO items somewhere.

Not really, though the CVS history shows when the item was added. Many
items represent complex threads of discussion, so only the general
conclusion is in the TODO list. Is there an items that is unclear?

You can sometimes find discussion about a TODO if you search the
archives for the text of the TODO, but I'd say that's only about 60%
sucessful. Bruce will sometimes capture relevant threads of discussion
along with TODO items, though.

The reason I asked this question is because I would like to contribute.
In fact I proposed my first patch today (of course with Tom's and
Alvaro's coaching). I thought maybe more is kept than general
conclusion. I guess I have to search in the CVS history and annoy people
by asking all kinds of questions.

Usually we can clarify any item, and in fact the discussion details
might have changed since the item was added, so by asking, you get
current information.
