Great idea indeed. I find myself spending much more time reading the bug 
lists and not understanding how to get started than actually 
implementing stuff. But this might indeed change that.

Problem: we probably will have to deal with multiple time zones (.e.g. I 
am in Europe) :-).

Also, I am getting the strange feeling that the buglist is somewhat 
outdated :-). For example: almost all bugs are either NEW or 
UNCONFIRMED. Isn't that a bit odd?
