Actually, that would probably happen automatically.

If you are working on a subsystem, you should probably be working
against the git tree for that subsystem. When something is done in the
todo list, the subsystem tree would be updated with the commit that does
said change.

Then, the list is maintained outside of mainline (in the subsystem git
tree) and will automatically update mainline in the next merge window
when the tree is pulled.
