If I may, I know that I'm very new here but I have an idea that could interrest 
you.

The idea is that every new contrinutor has to sove a certain amount if non-critics bugs 
labeled "newcommer" under the conduct of a mentor. The aim is to guide 
newcommers into the projecy itself, code organisation and guidelines of the devs very 
quickly and helps them getting confortable with the working methods of the team.

basically a good idea, but if I look at for example th unresolved bugs from April 1st to April 29 https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20GROOVY%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20createdDate%20%3E%3D%20%222015%2F04%2F01%22%20AND%20createdDate%20%3C%3D%222015%2F04%2F29%22%20ORDER%20BY%20created%20ASC%2C%20priority%20DESC

the only easy bug left I find is GROOVY-7385, and even that one has traps. So I am not sure what from there would be suitable

Mageia Linux uses this system to manager the new packagers like me and this is 
really enjoyable.

as soon a we find out for us how to do that I am sure it is nice. Getting there is a problem though... how difficult can a bug be to have it marked as "newcomer". Most bug are not really difficult, they just require deeper understanding of internals, and it can take a few weeks to get there... which is too long for most.
