I've been using gnome-version to mark project level priorities. We
*could* encourage maintainers to use gnome-target to track their own
priorities...

It might be good to do this - I've already had some conversations with
maintainers where they agree that a target bug is important, but don't
have the time to work on it themselves. Perhaps we could use a keyword
for this ("help-wanted"?), or just flag those bugs when we publicise
them on the mailing list.
