I'd like to encourage people who haven't contributed to Impala before to get started making patches. One way to do that would be to engage with communities where people for reaching out to new contributors.
It appears that Your First PR has a mechanism to invite new contributors to the project by filing a ticket: https://github.com/yourfirstpr/yourfirstpr.github.io/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue Any objections to me filing a ticket there and pointing to https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12341668? That's "newbie" open bugs with no assignee. We could also tweet at https://twitter.com/yourfirstpr?lang=en. I'm interested in also reaching out via https://github.com/up-for-grabs/up-for-grabs.net#add-a-project and maybe https://helpwanted.apache.org/, if https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-225 gets fixed. I'll go ahead with these in a couple of days, unless I hear any objections before then.
