Nice to hear ;-)

About putting GTK+ in a goal, I see more this in a way that the 
newcommer would use GTK+ for the goal, without necessarily write code 
*for* GTK. GNOME Goals are more of a "spread this good thing on all the 
desktop". For example I'm currently working on having ekiga stop using 
deprecated widgets. Telling "let's migrate every GtkCombo to a 
GtkComboBox" could be a realistic GNOME Goal. We can that way write some 
specific guidelines, wich can then be turned into tutorials. That way, 
we improve both the desktop *and* the knowledge base.

For module-specific actions, the usual gnome-love comportment is still 
the best way to go. According that someone is willing to help on a bug, 
and that its implementation context is well defined, the gnome-love 
keyword can be set on that bug.

That way, it will appear next to the module: the "love bugs" link will 
give someone a pool of bugs he can work on, being sure that he can 
request some help anytime.
