If it was set during the submission it could provide an insight to 
reviewers to the level of difficulty. Maybe that could help reviewers 
pick the "correct" entry.

Of course there would need to be a link to the Wiki with a description 
of each of the levels.

The committer could of course always change the level upon Rejected, 
Returned with Feedback or Committed.
