During my time on the board, I came up with the following list - I'm not sure 
what the current board things about it, it might be a start...

Enhancements for users.opensuse.org

Goal: Make users.o.o a central profile place for opensuse.org, where
users could have for example a mention of what they're involved in,
maybe a picture, viewable contact details, etc. Something like:
https://launchpad.net/~jonobacon


Detailed requirements:
* Upload of gpg keys (prio 1 - needed for voting)
* openID integration
* photo of developer
* contact details (prio 1)
* coordinates for openSUSE map
* involvement of user in the project (prio 1)
* quick jump for logged in user to "their" other profiles like forums
  profile

Implementation idea for membership handling (prio 2)

* coupling with hermes for notifications:
  - board gets notified daily about new members
  - mail, blog, irc admin gets notified daily about changes
  - member gets notified once application is approved and everything
    is setup

* adding discussion field for voting process (for members to modify
  and read but not for member to see)

* for each board member a separate voting queue:
  - Each member has a Yes (+1), No (-1), Abstain (0) vote
  - board member has own queue that shows members that are not voted
    by board member (and have not been rejected/approved)
  - member is automatically approved if sum is 3 or higher
* reject queue: Needs to be handled by one board member that will do
  the final reject (after adding the reject message), accessible by
  everybody.  Applicants will end here under the following conditions:
  - 2 votes and sum == -2
  - 3 votes and sum < 1
  - 4 votes and sum < 2
  - 5 votes and sum < 3

* public information for the requester that he knows the state of the
  application (pending, accepted, refused) the reason why it has been
  refused "reject message" and the setup state of blog, irc cloak,
  mail alias.

* additional NEEDINFO state where board can ask the member to refine
  request or add further information.
