Sounds good to me.

I'm a heavy Org user, so no problem with that here.

The file would likely be merged into etc/TODO before we merge to master,
so we don't need everyone to love the format.  It's fully workable to
visit Org files in fundamental-mode even, if it comes to it.

Thanks, so I deleted the file.  Let's start fresh with a new file.
Maybe admin/igc-todo.org makes sense, to put it next to admin/igc.org,
to decrease the risk of forgetting about it.

I'd also refer to it at the top of igc.c, at least for now.
