There is at least this bugzilla tag:
https://issues.dlang.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=preapproved&list_id=110116

...But its an awful short list!  Clear direction has been a 
common request for a while.

In the vein of what you're talking about, though, this seems a 
good place to leverage our existing infrastructure with Bugzilla. 
  Open tracker bugs that cover these areas and add any issues 
related to them as dependencies.  Looks something like this:
