This is a good idea, perhaps it would be worth an easy GSoC project to make it more visible: modify the BTS, the PTS and whatever else we can think of, to show gift tagged bugs more visibly. Also writing a few guidelines on what kind of bugs are appropriate for the tag would also help, something a bit more elaborate than what's on the wiki at the moment.
