My solution to this is to file a bug and link it to the BP if it needs more than one line of info. This seems to work because anything that needs more than one line is probably not 2 days of work - which is what should go in the BP (which is my understanding). The bugs get picked up by status, so it all seems to work out.

It really feels like it could be time to promote the work items to a real entity in launchpad. Has this been discussed before?
Many times.
It's not something that the Launchpad team is likely to work on at all this year, even if there was consensus on what should be done.
The Infastructure team could work on it, if it is high enough priority, but it doesn't seem to me that we have reached that point yet.
A better solution may be to stop using the whiteboards and just have everyone manipulate status.linaro.org directly. That's a fair chunk of work itself though, and again it needs to be high enough priority to beat out other things.
In addition, I'm wary of adding lots of extra features to workitems, as I feel they tend to be symptomatic of trying to load up engineers with too much process. We should always be careful to balance the desire for more information with the overhead that it causes. You can say that the features are optional, but having them there will always push people towards using them.
Thanks,
