[yocto] RFC: Janitorial tasks

[Paul Barker]

Hi all,

After discussions at the last TSC meeting I've merged the OpenEmbedded
wiki page for janitorial tasks
(http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OpenEmbeddedJanitors) in to the
equivalent page on the Yocto Project wiki
(https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Janitors). In addition to keeping
everything in one place, the benefit here is that the page on the YP
wiki can integrate with the YP bugzilla.

To quote the page: "[Janitorial] tasks are intended to help people get
started working with the Yocto Project. These tasks should not require
a lot of context. Anyone with basic programming skills, experience
working with Open Source software, and some time on their hands should
be able to complete these."

If anyone has any suggestions for tasks which could be added to this
list, please propose them in reply to this email or go ahead and add
them to the wiki in the existing format. It would also be beneficial
to add some hints and tips on where to start with the existing tasks
that are already on the page. Suggestions of who to talk to/what
mailing list to post on for each task may also be a good idea.

If you've previously posted tasks on the janitors page, now would be a
good time to quickly review them and ensure they're still relevant.

Any comments about the organisation of janitorial/newbie friendly
tasks in general are also welcome.
