Thanks for posting this—I think it’ll be relevant to a lot of people. In fact, this precise “Task Y” topic happened to come up in a meet-up I was in just a couple hours ago!
There are also various lists of project and research ideas online.
I also (since your original comment) put together a central directory for open research questions, which links to:
the posts you link to there
all other lists of research questions I could find
a google doc version of the directory, where people can add more lists and questions
