I suggest we use wiki for this. It's easy to create and edit a list
there. At some point there was some sort of a list in development plan
page. Anyone can write a new list and others can add or remove from it.

Qt may be localized, but the problem is that we can't be sure that it's
localized for all languages we need. At least for me the current Windows
package starts with Finnish interface but has English buttons here and
there. I don't like it at all.

Using "our own" buttons is not a problem. We just change the text and
add an icon. With a proper helper function (not necessarily a subclass!)
it's actually easier than creating Qt buttons "manually". If we want to
use icons at all, we have to add them for every button anyways.
