How about: First timers assign a bug to a mentor and the mentor takes responsibility for the first timer learning from the bug to completion. Per project, a few people volunteer themselves as mentors. As easy as responding to [project][mentor] emails. On Monday, November 30, 2015, Sean Dague

Being successful at your first patch for most people means that their first effort is different than an a regular patch. Identifying abandoned work more quickly is good. It doesn't help the first timer. Tagging low hanging fruit for first timers I like. I'm recommending we add a mentor as part

Re: [openstack-dev] Encouraging first-time contributors through bug tags/reviews

Have a tag for first time contributor is a great idea. On the other hand we should not take out the "low hanging fruit" tag. I contribute to OpenStack on my spare time and in my current situation I can only work on the low hanging fruits. If the first time tag is replacing the low hanging fruit
