Interesting PRs of the week list

The idea is to compile a list of interesting or easy to review PRs with a better exposure (D forum, D's weekly newsletter).

The easiest way to do so would be to have a special label like "easy review".

Moreover, something similar could be done with the bug list.

This idea is a also similar to Andrew's "trivial" label on Bugzilla. There are also a few open source projects that provide a web page with good bugs for beginners:

https://starters.servo.org https://wiki.mozilla.org/BugsAhoy

GitHub

And particularly on GitHub it seems to be popular to tag issues with a "beginner" label:

• http://up-for-grabs.net/#/ (lists "for beginners" issues of multiple projects)
• https://www.codetriage.com (sends an email every day with one selected issue)

A couple of examples:

• https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A"good+first+contribution"
• https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/labels/5-good-beginner-bug
• https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/labels/beginner
• https://github.com/larvalabs/pullup/labels/beginner

I'm missing some clarity for this issue.

• What PRs would be eligible for this list? Still-open PRs? Freshly merged PRs?
• Where would the list be presented? If it's a forum post, presumably it would be posted by a human? If so, what role does @dlang-bot have?
• Probably issues are sufficiently different from PRs that they should be discussed separately?
