I very much agree that if you really want to get to the todos they should be tracked in your issue tracker and prioritized with all other work with the team. What's the alternative? Take a random afternoon to do a random Todo item instead of prioritized work?

Absolutely. That only works in an environment that treats its developers as responsible professionals, not ticket processors, though. If it's going to take a while, just create a ticket while you do it.
