buddy colors and nicks are not updated in journal entries

[tomeu]

each entry should store a buddy ID and there should be a DB that can be queried for updated info.

This needs explanation in the 0.84 release notes and in the manual.

Very invasive, don't see this happening in 0.86

[erikos]

If Tomeu thinks this was invasive for 0.86, it is still too invasive for 0.88 at this moment in the cycle. Moved out.

IMO this should be an enhancement and not a defect since it provides new functionality. Comments?

Well, I'm not 100% sure of that because we could consider a defect anything that doesn't meet the user's expectations. I would say it's something in the middle.

Note that with regards to the code freeze, it's not important just if it's considered a defect an enhancement but also if it's a regression and how much invasive it is.

This will be quite big change that requires a good knowledge of the whole architecture. I would start with something easier.
