Can we get somebody with more Bugzilla-fu to address this? If we drop the "list_id", can we share this? Can we name these queries? I'm CCing mhoye and lizzard, who I think both are master bug wranglers and might be able to help.

I think you're overcomplicating things with second/third bugs, tbh. We've got good-first, good-next, diamond and experience-required as categories, as described here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Contribute/Coding/Mentoring

... but rather than expect users to search on and find good-Nth bugs, you'll have far more success (and way better retention!) by pointing newish contributors to a next bug after they've completed a first one rather than hoping that they'll pick one up themselves.

"Thank you! While that patch is getting merged, would you like to take a look at this other bug? It looks like a good fit for your skills."

Expressing gratitude and saying you'd like to keep working with someone will do way more for your community than any regex. Do the search for them at first, you'll see people start to pick up their own bugs soon enough.
