It would be awesome if for some way the PR database could be tied into 
this so items in the database could be promoted as junior tasks.  Adding 
to that, an option in the PR web for someone to be able to vote on certain 
PR's that should be promoted and ultimately giving a little more free time 
to the PR admin by not having to visually inspect every PR that has not 
been categorized for its worth as a junior project, and putting the 
community as a whole to work in the voting.

Ultimately I would see something like the above reducing the PR database 
greatly and freeing up some man hours for linimon@ so he can get some more 
coffee ;).

Think-Tank open for business ;)
