<p>While we're on the subject, I'd also like to encourage people to
not blindly assign people to mentored and good first bugs when
requested, but check user profiles first (click their username on
bugzilla, then click 'profile' in the dropdown).</p>
<p>good-first-bug and mentored bugs are meant to provide new people
a straightforward way to "find their feet", get used to bugzilla
and phabricator, etc. They're not meant for people to repeatedly
prove they can fix trivial bugs in 5 minutes once they're used to
the systems.<br>
</p>
<p>I don't want (and it's not my place) to impose hard limits here,
so use your own judgment - but when a contributor wants to be
assigned what would be their 5th or 10th bug, it's probably a good
idea to have a conversation about more difficult/interesting work
that they could be doing, whether there are particular parts of
the codebase that they want to get to know better, etc. This
hopefully helps that contributor do more meaningful work, it helps
free us up, and it helps other new people who can then take the
gfb/mentored bugs instead.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
Gijs<br>

<div>Hi all, <br>

<div>With Outreachy and GSoC kicking off, we are currently
running very low on good-first-bugs for potential Firefox
desktop contributors. Could I ask you to spend a few minutes
this week to identify and tag a few in your module or areas of
interest? <br>

<div>Thanks, <br>
