Agreed. Something I've found interesting is that such pages are a tangential benefit for any project that has participated in Google Summer of Code, as compiling project ideas is one of the first steps in participating. Although sometimes projects to err and fail to include "entry level" ideas. For reference:
FreeBSD: http://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage
gcc: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode
