That's how I initially envisioned it. But on reflection, that's 
probably not the best way to go about it. The time available is 
extremely limited. Specific tasks need to be trivial enough to be 
completed within a single workday. That's a broad category. That 
would mean populating the list with a bunch of issues from the 
priority projects. Which issues? All of them that fit? Then why 
put them on the list at all? Just let the tasked worker sort 
through the project's issues page. They're in a better position 
than I am to judge how long it should take them to finish a lot 
of those items anyway.

But this is just to seed the list and get us started. Anyone can 
suggest specific tasks to add to it and submit an issue or a PR. 
I expect such tasks to be added as time goes by.
