One way would be to create a *gardening* tag in the github issues.  That way people can set up filters for ideas that experts think are a good idea, but probably won't need deep design discussions to get started.

I think 'bitesize' or 'gardening' are better than 'newcomer' as you don't
necessarily have to be new to do small jobs or should only be restricted
to small jobs if you're new (though newcomers still need to build trust).

Anyway, I've tagged #1057[1] as bitesized given that's the tag we have. There
have been some queries recently about getting runqemu to work with our
Aspeed qemu models and I think that'd be a great piece of work for someone
to pick up.
