It would be nice assuming we ever got around to reviving them. I guess
it would depend mostly on the submitter. I have a feeling this will end
up as a bucket-o-doom.
On the wiki I'd keep only ideas that are worth reviving. If something
is a dead end then it is not worth to keep it. As an example, there
are Web UI tests for OTP, draft of notification center or Tomas
Babej's troubleshooting framework. The use case I try to solve by it
is: I know that there was some work done which might not have been a
PR but it was not finished e.g. because the person switched roles or
left the team.
