[PySide] Sprint: list of manageable bugs

[John Ehresman]

I made a quick pass through the bugs for PySide and pulled out the 
following bugs as being fixable without a global understanding of PySide 
(I hope).  Some of the bugs may really be Qt bugs / behaviors that the 
reporter didn't understand or may no longer be valid; I didn't go back 
and verify the bugs.

Unfortunately not all of these bugs are "easy" bugs, so ask if you have 
trouble figuring out how things work.  If you want to start looking at 
something, please mention it on IRC and then when you have a sense you 
can fix it, I can assign you the bug in the tracker.

A note on patches to PySide: because it is a Qt project, all patches 
must be submitted via https://codereview.qt-project.org/ and you'll need 
to agree to a contributor agreement.  This is relatively easy to do and 
we can help you with this process.

Cheers,

John
