See http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/issue605 for the
previous discussion on easy issues. I re-triaged some of them (the
initial list is at
http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/msg3169) in the past
year, but that's not something I want to do in my free time anymore
(and unsurprisingly, companies aren't interested to fund issue
triaging work)

Please consider not using prefixes in issue titles. Setting
appropriate fields in the issue detail page should be enough. There is
no need to duplicate the information in the title.
