Do you need to change any of these date fields when creating a new task? 
If you can just accept the defaults then it's only slightly annoying 
rather then very annoying, imo.

Do you know if there's a support ticket about this? I couldn't find any.

I'm probably stating the obvious, but I'll mention it anyway. I see the 
separation like this:

- *Team pages: list responsibilities. E.g. Builder, gNewSenseToMIPS, 
forwarding bugs.
- Tasks: work we'd like to see done, it's predefined what it means for 
it to get status "Completed" (not necessarily when it will be 
completed); no need for these to be also on the *Team pages. E.g. wiki 
migration, port Ubiquity.
- Bugs: faults that need to be fixed. E.g. package aee must be removed 
[non-free].

Some things can have both a bug report and a task item associated, e.g. 
"Graphics on YeeLoong suck" and "Backport Siliconmotion driver".
