 At least Community Team is using it's P2 to make decisions. We are pushing
 to have one P2 post per each thing to decide and adding a deadline for
 every post, so that discussion does not end up hanging without some kind
 of closure. Alongside with this kind of posts, we have also informal posts
 on things that the whole community team should know. Because of this,
 there can be many posts after something with a deadline and the posts with
 deadline gets buried into pagination.

 To help keeping track on posts with a deadline (posts that need
 attention/comments/discussion from community team), I'd like to see the
 custom field for setting the deadline and page or sidebar widget that
 lists every post with the deadline coming up.

 Hugh said that easiest way to achieve this would probably be making a
 custom plugin and adding it into the make.w.org. Writing the plugin is
 also fairly simple, I'm thinking about one `post_meta` field per post with
 a deadline and a shortcode running a simple WP_Query against that
 information (with proper caching in place). How does that sound and if I
 end up writing a plugin for this, any pieces of advice on how to add
 datepicker after content field in P2?
