I doubt a fancy `issue tracker' would make a whole lot of difference --
indeed it might make things worse, if it tried to hide what's actually a
simple, relatively small, list of items under an unnecessary search
interface.

I think the best thing for help to get TODO more used would be a bit more
structure / categorization in the file, to make it less daunting for
first-time viewers, and an easy way for regular developers to see changes to
it, without having to explicitly _do_ something, e.g., a special mailing list
just for commit diffs to TODO.
