Hmm, you are right; however it makes me uneasy to given committers the
burden of keeping both things updated (on top of all the other things
they already do).

On the other hand, maybe it will be less of a problem if we have links
on both to each other, so that we know we can mark the Todo as done.
We've seen those forgotten.

(Actually what this says is that we need a single link: from the
Commitfest to Todo.  Linking the other way around is probably not as
useful.)
