I made an attempt to split it under my user pages,
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Njsg/EasyHacksIndex

It is based on the Easy Hacks page as of 2011-03-29T13:52:51
(http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=Development/Easy_Hacks&oldid=18812).

It needs some cleanup (empty lines and empty sections), which I'll now
do. I should also change heading levels so that the root ones are the
top level, but for now I didn't change that, to keep the text blocks
unchanged.

Although it lists these skill sets you pointed out, some tasks (maybe
most of them?) require other skills -- I tried to group tasks based on
what each list is about, but there's probably some room for improvement.

I hope this is helpful.
