I think it'd be totally worth to invest some time on making "easy hacks"
like approaches work for us. I'm not sure what that would mean in
practice, though. I've had for sometime on my TODO list to study the
experiences of other projects on how they maintain and advertise such
lists, to try copy in Debian best practices that work for others.

Haven't done so yet, I'm a bit at loss at defining the boundaries of the
GSoC project you suggest.  I still think it's a great idea, but I'm
unable to determine if it'd be something a GSoC student would be able to
work upon or not...

Any taker for trying to better define the scope of such a project?

Cheers.
