Well, there's the "easy" keyword:

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=!closed&keywords=~easy&col=id&col=summary&col=keywords&col=status&col=type&col=component&col=changetime&order=priority

However, that keyword is not used consistently between the various
code bases in Tor, and sometimes it's unclear whether tasks are still
recent.

But I think both are good approaches: have a list of easy tickets and
highlight one or two in the newsletter.

Maybe the person who works on the newsletter column (which may be
harmony---yay!) could ask product owners to go through their tickets
and mark some of them as easy, and then pick one or two of those.

All the best,
Karsten
