An alternative approach would be a help-wanted page, organized according
to skills, maintained on the same sort of system as the board agenda.
Each PMC chair whose project is looking for volunteers would supply
information about their needs. The result would be a public web page
potential volunteers could search.
Ideally, it would be on a whimsey-like system, but a start could be made
by just defining a format and keeping the master page in a PMC chair
accessible SVN archive.

Given our distributed and dynamic nature I think such a list can only
work in terms of a query on our issue trackers, where specific tickets
are flagged as low-hanging fruit.
We use this for GSoC where http://s.apache.org/gsoc2015ideas returns a
list of such tickets.

If those are foundation level ideas you might describe them in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV and include them in a
suitable query.
So IMO what's needed is to define a standard label or set of labels
for those jira tickets, create a URL like
http://s.apache.org/gsoc2015ideas that lists those tickets and inform
our projects of that.
