FWIW, matplotlib calls it "low hanging fruit". I think it is a better name than "newcomers".

We actually have an "easy fix" label, which I think had this in mind.
However, I admit that I think some of these issues may not be easy at
all (I guess it depends on what you consider easy ;)). In any case, I
think just go ahead with creating a new label or reusing the current
one. "easy fix" might be a starting point to find some candidate issues.

There is also a documentation label, and about 30 tickets with that label. That should be good for just practicing the mechanics.

FWIW in astropy we settled on two properties, level of effort and level of sub-package expertise, with corresponding labels:

- effort-low, effort-medium, and effort-high

- package-novice, package-intermediate, package-expert

This has been used with reasonable success.
