[Python-Dev] "Good first issues" on the bug tracker

This would be nice too.  Speaking from my experience, it's hard to leave
the comfort of what looks to be a quick win (by submitting a PR on an easy
issue) and moving on to something where you're more unsure.  But...

What a great idea!  Maybe that could be written up under the triager
section of the devguide as a way to triage.  An experienced person can do
the legwork, just short of submitting the PR, and then help mentor a
newcomer who wants to follow it through.  This might be worth a thread on
its own.

Thanks!  :-)
