[yocto] RFC: newbies and janitors

The Yocto Project is a complex thing, and people eager to get involved 
can have a difficult time sorting out where to start. The Linux kernel 
community put together kernelnewbies and kerneljanitors to help people 
get up to speed and provide them with manageable tasks to get them started.

I think we have (or should have) the "newbies" side of things covered 
with #yocto #poky and the website and the various manuals and 
documentation projects, but I think something like "janitors" would be 
valuable. This could be something as simple as a tag for bugzilla bugs 
appropriate for newcomers go after.

I imagine this is something we could share with OE - or perhaps OE 
already has something that serves this purpose - or could be extended to 
do so.

Thoughts?
