I agree this would be a really cool thing but it can be really hard to judge what is suitable for new contributors and what not, some people understand things pretty fast others do not and thus you could lose the chance to get a fix for a bug because you rate it too low. What do you think about using the RFH pseudo bug and add a usertag to it instead? [...] > Thank you, and merry christmas :-) Same to you and all other devs!
