I think this is a nice opportunity to get more people onboard and I am willing to spend more time reviewing PRs this month. As Maarten mentions, we do not have to have all PRs finished in October, they only have to be marked as 'hacktoberfest-accepted' so that gives us extra time. I do agree it would be nice to have an up-to-date up-for-grabs list as Gary mentions, so we should check the current up-for-grabs JIRA issues.
