We have a couple templates[0] for reporting bugs in the Android app that would almost always be "language-java". I'm sure we could add the appropriate tags when they exist, although it might be a little redundant. On a related note, we've been trying to add the "Easy" tag where appropriate.

Hi,
What if we added extra projects to phabricator for programming languages (such as language-php, language-c)
I think a previous step should e to have landing pages for such languages in mediawiki.org, pointing to the main projects and resources related to such languages. Quite often we meet new potential developers that want to contribute but have no strong opinion about where. They do have an opinion about their programming skills, so usually the reply is I can code in this or that language.
Once a page like i.e. mw:Java exists and it is linked from the right venues, then it starts making sense to tag Phabricator tasks requiring Java skills, hopefully finding some Easy ones to offer a great search query for whoever might be interested.
