I thik it's an awesome idea. I always missed a doable per cycle priority bug list that experienced developers + designers agree on. Also, when I was newcomer, EveryDetailMatters for gnome-shell helped me to focus and not spending lot of time searching and thinking priorities in bugzilla. So I expect your proposal to be very welcome for newcomers as well.
