That's relatively hard:  I have a to-do list of items that aren't in 
email, but generally my process for working on a patch starts by 
collecting all of the email since the last to-do list, and using that 
(along with various notes) as the basis of the to-do list (removing 
messages that did not relate to a bug report or fix of course).

There's also a list of notes that I made which aren't from email,
as well as a large directory containing residue from older to-do lists
as well as test cases, etc.  For example (cut/paste from directory 
editor):
