How is this not trivially solved via a "ready-to-be-worked-on" tag?

An non-issue raised as an issue can never be closed, because the person who reported it will just open another one saying "Why did you close my issue without fixing it?" If that user is also raising valid, useful issues then you don't want to just ban them. Consequently your issues list will become unmanageable.
