For this purpose, "support request" seems the most appropriate.
IHMO the task list should be managed only by the task list people,
which one check whether a request is appropriate, not duplicate etc.
A user open a request saying "Blah should be on task list".
The task list people look at the request a decide whether a new task
should be added or if an existing task should be edited.
Once done, task list people marks the request as closed.

It seems even easier to use what already exists:
http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?group=tasklist
