Christian Beer pointed out that in BOINC's github issue tracker
https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues
there are no estimates of how much time it would take to
fix the bug or add the feature.
Hence it's hard for potential volunteer programmers to find
easy things to work on initially.

To remedy this, I added new labels (E is for effort):
E: 1 day
E: 1 week
E: 1 month
E: > 1 month
E: to be determined
and added these labels for the first 10 or so tasks.
Christian and I will continue this process,
but if anyone wants to jump in, feel free.

The estimates are for someone who's already familiar with that part of the code,
and with the languages/technologies involved.
For a complete beginner the tasks would take a lot longer.
