There are a few bug reports, some with patches, that were never looked
at. Reviewing those would be a good start.

This is my list for vc-status. It is roughly in order from core
pieces to UI.
* Make a new 'update' back end function to update the tree.
* Make dir-status back end function update the vc-status buffer
asynchronously. This means using a process filter.
* Don't clear vc-status buffer when updating. This means figuring out
how to insert new items into the ewoc at the right point.
* Figure out what to do about 'conflict' -- seems like it should be a
state, but none of VC seems prepared for that. There was some
discussion about this.
* Add more bindings. At least 'commit' and 'update' are needed.
In general, copy stuff from pcl-cvs or psvn.
We also need a menu and maybe a toolbar.
* Implement dir-status and update functions for all back ends.
* A few rough edges... allow multiple vc-status buffers. Decide
general approach to running the sub-process (what buffer to use,
etc; there was some traffic about this). Decide how to allow
interrupting the process. Update the vc-status buffer when a
modification is made to a buffer visiting one of the listed files.
* Whatever else that pcl-cvs does that is cool that vc-status should
have.
FWIW I am hardly working on this. I send a patch as the mood strikes.
So, don't worry too much about duplicating effort :). Dan, I think,
is leading it.
I probably forgot something.
