You can put labels on issues to indicate that they've been triaged as 
"nice to have" or whatever.  You can then use these in searches, or just 
let your eyes be drawn to whichever label colour you're currently 
interested in.

You can also set up templates for bug reports and feature requests (or 
other things) such that they automatically get appropriate labels, that 
can then be later triaged further if desired.

For the ease of automated reporting tools like someone was suggesting in 
another thread branch, it may be useful to standardise on a basic set of 
labels Boost-wide, though these could still be augmented as needed for 
specific libraries (provided the custom labels are used in addition to 
the generic ones).
