As someone who would probably be classed as a "new developer" to the
project I think the "sugar-love" (or equivalent) keyword in trac issues
is a good approach:

   * It's low maintenance--to make it work just requires someone to
     add a keyword in a Trac entry. I _think_ it's also possible
     to auto-generate a list of these in a page in the Wiki if
     desired.

   * There's a precedent in other large projects:
       e.g. http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove

   * It encourages new developers to become familiar with project
     infrastructure such as Trac.

My $0.02...
