→Mentor a specific bug: Updated for mentor field
=Mentor a specific bug=
You can offer to mentor someone who wants to take on a specific bug, by adding ''[mentor=your_bugzilla_id]'' your Bugzilla username to the bug's status whiteboardmentor field.
You should also add a comment in the bug telling a new contributor:<br>
Finally, emailing a quick "thanks, ask me anything" to new contributors when they arrive will give them a warm fuzzy feeling, which we encourage.

** Note that we've switched from using the whiteboard for the mentor name to a proper field.
