Please ping committers whether the issue is valid when the issue looks to have been resolved already. > * Does anybody have any suggestions for a suitable newbie ticket to pick up? One suggestion from me is to use JQL on JIRA to find issues for newbie. If you run following query, you will find fresh and open issues. project = "Hadoop Common" and labels = "newbie" and status = open ORDER BY updatedDate Also I think one good starting point is to fix documentation, typos in code, trivial changes, or something.
