I have mainly been lurking since the list has been so slow (Except for
Duncan's always interesting posts!) but the remaining bugs I see are:

Bugs:
The AT bugs that other mentioned.
The nzb security hole that has been carried as a patch by numerous distro's
(Might be in the Gnome repo already?) 

Features (Probably not 1.0 but I could dream!):
Save sent posts
SSL connections
Posting profiles
Use the Gnome-Keyring for passwords

Regarding the documentation, I was primarily using the Wiki to host
interesting comments Duncan made that would be useful to others.  
Obviously I slacked off but I am VERY willing to setup accounts for anyone
who wants one to add to it.   It might be better to put this in
live.gnome.org as well since Pan already uses the Gnome infrastructure but
I have no issue at all with continuing to host it.
