Description
Currently, feature lists of large softwares are managed manually. But additions, modifications, and removals of features are dependant on commits. So I was wondering if there is any way to manage a special wiki page which contains the feature list of the software, just like the tickets ("#fixes" kinda stuff).
Features can have numbers too! Feature lists have a tree structure, so the numbering must be in order with that.
One example commit message can be
AddFeature 12.4.3 Automatic feature-list management. Fixes #5000
and one more
AddsFeature 12.4.3.7 #5001 Optional storage of ticket number where feature was requested. Fixes #5001
So now you not only have an automatically managed feature list, but also a complete timeline of when a feature/subfeature was added, modified or removed.

Something like this can now be implemented as a plugin using the IRepositoryChangeListener interface.
Sounds like requirement management (Feature lists have a tree structure).
I believe that adding such a subsystem to Trac should be easily done as a plugin once a more generic data model is in place. See GenericTrac.
Also, the link between commit message and actions taken on the requirements would be facilitated by a changeset notification mechanism, see TracDev/Proposals/Journaling.
