The Todo list is not a list of things for which such a consensus exists. The Todo list is in general a list of things that someone thought should be considered at some point. But unless the item is linked to a mailing list thread that already shows a consensus about the feature, you need to start with a discussion about a plan. So don't submit a project plan to your university or boss based on "I will work on item X because it's on the Todo list" without taking ample time to discuss things here first.
