So what you're really asking for is not a keyword. What you're looking 
for is some stimulus to get people who know about coding (programmers) 
to put information about how hard the bug is to fix (this takes time 
away from their fixing bugs in case you were wondering) and then you 
want someone to put a list of those bugs in a prominent place.  Neither 
of these things requires your keyoword nor would your keyword make 
either of these things easier to accomplish.  See 
http://www.mozilla.org/get-involved.html which could probably be 
improved some but already meets the two points I stated above.
