Make "Simple bugs" option more discoverable to new contributors

It seems that "Simple bugs" option tend to be overlooked by new contributors. It's now placed at the bottom of the sidebar (needs scroll to see it), and unchecked by default. This option is important for new contributors. It should be better to make it more discoverable.

There will be several way:

  • move it to the top of the sidebar
  • check it by default
  • show hint when it's not checked

here's a mock up for showing hint.
clicking "Yes" button checks "Simple bugs" checkbox and refreshes the list.

These are good points. I hadn't considered moving it or showing a hint before; unfortunately, checking it by default isn't realistic because of the extreme difference in performance the bugzilla queries exhibit that make use of it.
