This suggestion is less game-related and more process-oriented. If the community keeps growing, it will be more difficult to keep track of all the bugs and game enhancements.
So, why don't the project create a Github repo just to use their issue tracker. There you could triage all incoming requests, set priorities and easier communicate future releases.
Just to be super clear - I am NOT advocating releasing the game code on github. Just taking advantage of the existing infrastructure to make project management easier.
