[...] 2 weeks ago I asked people to help with getting our Junior Jobs list above 100. That worked out nicely. We’re at 140 right now and reached 148 at some point in the last week o/ 200 in 2 weeks from now? [...]

@T.J.: No, not at all! Junior Jobs are specifically made to get people started with a relatively easy task. Only a very small number of bugs in our bug tracker are suitable for this.

I think this is a good idea, but can’t a person also simply go to bugs.kde.org and look for bugs that have the most votes to see features users really want, but aren’t implemented yet?

Or sort by oldest open bugs? Some of those can probably be closed with some cleanup, realizing that they are duplicates, already fixed, no longer apply to newer versions, etc.

I had a bookmark for a query of open bugs with patches attached, sorted by date. I’d try to apply the patch myself, see if it fixed the bug, and track down why the patch never made it in mainline. Often, there was no explanation for why a patch was submitted and then ignored.

Bug trackers are great tools, but sadly often aren’t maintained as much as they should be.

Are there better tools we could use for promo task scheduling?

You might want to have a look at OTRS. I have heard about it as a ticket/task tracking system, but do not know if it exactly fits your needs.

BUGSBANE, you’re looking for http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Oxygen/Missing_Icons . I know in KDEGames, we need some custom icons.
