→Mentor a specific bug
You can offer to mentor someone who wants to take on a specific bug, by adding ''[mentor=your_bugzilla_id]'' to the bug's status whiteboard.
You should also add a comment in the bug telling a new contributor:<br>*how to get started with this bug,*what a completed solution should look like,*pointers to relevant information,*if the bug is not trivial:**how hard the bug is,**what resources they may need to implement the fix.
Finally, emailing a quick "thanks, ask me anything" to new contributors when they arrive will give them a warm fuzzy feeling, which we encourage.
