Hi Aman.
Please use the mailing list to inquire about the project, not personal mail.
Each developer might be very busy and have an overflowing inbox already.
I'll forward this to the list and hope you don't mind.
There was a sprint two weeks ago, and this week there is a lot of
activity, partially related to the release.
There are often easy issues that sit around for some time.
Ideally the "needs contributor" tag should be only on issues that are
not taken up.
If they are on issues that are taken up, you can notify us on the issue
and we'll remove it.
That will make it much easier for newcomers to find untaken issues.
Also, feel free to comment on an issue to say you are taking it up
before you come up with a full-blown solution.
I recommend you shortly look at what needs to be done, but you don't
need to spend a long time going through the solution in detail
before taking up an issue.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andreas,
I am Amandeep Gautam, a master's student at University of
Minnesota. I want to start contributing to scikit-learn. I hope this
direct email does not violate the general norms of open source
community communication. In case it does, please let me
Since I am new, so I started looking at the bugs under the easy
section on Github as suggested here
<http://scikit-learn.org/stable/developers/>.
Following are the two things I need advice about:
1. The stuff get fixed/assigned pretty quickly so getting bugs
assigned is difficult unless you are highly active. The reason it
takes me some time to respond on a bug report is that I try to
look at the code before commenting. By the time I am done with
this exercise, either the bug has already being fixed or assigned.
What would you suggest I do in this case.
2. Bugs are fixed pretty quickly as I see on the issue tracker. I do
not think I can fix a bug that fast. What is expected out of a new
person in this case? Is it okay if it takes longer? What is the
expectation of the community in such a case.
Thanks for you time.
Regards,
Aman
