Thought: what if there's a label on the bug tracker meaning roughly "we're probably not going to fix this anytime soon, but we won't mind someone stepping up"?

Not needed. Good patches are always welcome. And if there is no current PR or other information indicating otherwise, a fix 'soon' is usually unlikely.

But what we mostly need is not more patches, but more reviews. Anyone can act like a core dev up to the point of actually pushing the green merge button.
