Ok but the point is that the entire structure of Sage is built keeping in mind that everybody is a mathematician and knows how the thing works. It's not about the 5 million lines (which is huge stuff if you face it for the first time). It's about the math. Don't laugh too much but I don't even know what a polynomial ring is. :D IMHO there should be (or maybe I didn't find it) a "/list of 20 minutes bugs nobody wants to fix because they're boring but really you can fix them in less than half an hour if you want to start with something easy/" thing on the website. :P
In addition to the "beginner" bugs that Volker points out, almost all of the bugs in sage plots and graphics require little to no knowledge of mathematics. Additionally, the Sage notebook programming requires no mathematics.
