It is mentioned in the official documents of the Linux Foundation and WIKI
that you can participate in its development according to the TODO files of
each module.
But the TODO files here has not been updated for 15 years, and the function
development described in the file have been implemented or abandoned.
Its existence will mislead developers seeking to view outdated information.

- - fine-tune the allocation / GC thresholds
- - chattr support - turning on/off and tuning compression per-inode
- - checkpointing (do we need this? scan is quite fast)
- - make the scan code populate real inodes so read_inode just after
- mount doesn't have to read the flash twice for large files.
- Make this a per-inode option, changeable with chattr, so you can
- decide which inodes should be in-core immediately after mount.
- - test, test, test

- - NAND flash support:
- - almost done :)
- - use bad block check instead of the hardwired byte check
-
- - Optimisations:
- - Split writes so they go to two separate blocks rather than just c->nextblock.
- By writing _new_ nodes to one block, and garbage-collected REF_PRISTINE
- nodes to a different one, we can separate clean nodes from those which
- are likely to become dirty, and end up with blocks which are each far
- closer to 100% or 0% clean, hence speeding up later GC progress dramatically.
- - Stop keeping name in-core with struct jffs2_full_dirent. If we keep the hash in
- the full dirent, we only need to go to the flash in lookup() when we think we've
- got a match, and in readdir().
- - Doubly-linked next_in_ino list to allow us to free obsoleted raw_node_refs immediately?
- - Remove size from jffs2_raw_node_frag.

Did you check whether all items in this list are really outdated?
Nobody shall ever blindly follow a TODO list without checking first which
points are still valid or not.
Removing that file does not magically solve the issues it describes.
