Thanks for the report, Robin.

How would the credentials of the control user be stored permanently in
config.inc.php?

See
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2163957&group_id=23067&atid=377411

> - Charts functionality is popular, but painful to use sometimes:

>   You have to create a view with name/population first, and chart that.
>   It was simply not doable with the base table.

>   returns (mysqluser, mysqlpassword), which is used to connect to MySQL.

How about our "signon" auth feature?

> - Some users complained that the versions of PMA deployed by cpanel and

We have no control over this, have we?

> - Engine support: Tokutek asked about what was needed to get their
>   engine listed in the create table dropdown.

I don't remember reading any feature request about this.

> - Replication status: can we include the stats from the Maatkit/Percona
>   Toolkit heartbeat app, and/or possible other tools?

These are command-line tools so investigation has to be done about
interfacing them.

> - The DB Designer had some feature requests too: 
> 	- Some rough attempt at an initial layout solution
> 	- Auto-save layout changes
> 	- Create table opening in a new tab

This vinyl banner was printed a few years after the first team meeting,
for one of my trips to the MySQL Users conference in Santa Clara.
