The usual type of practice here should come from applying trivial patches, or ones that don't impact code quality. Docs patches come to mind as a good way someone could get used to the commit process without introducing much potential mayhem along the way. As far as keeping new people away from complicated patches, ultimately you just have to trust that anyone who can commit has a reasonable idea of their own capabilities. I seriously doubt you're going to find a new committer jumping right in by committing hot standby out of the gate just because they could do so.
