Hi,
Only add something to the roadmap if you find a volunteer to do the
work. No Tails dev has volunteered, and they all have a very heavy
wrokload as-is, so I doubt they would have time.
Open a low-priority ticket, and hopefully someone will volunteer.
I also still think that improving Electrum's doc to mention the problems
would be a good idea.
If it's a big problem and nobody is available to solve it, we might have
to remove Electrum from Tails until it is fixed.
Cheers,
BitingBird
