It's a great idea. We are always looking for volunteers that help the
community to reduce the amount of open bugs. The bug tracker at
http://bugs.python.org/ even has a category for beginners. You just have
to search for keyword -> easy and you'll get a bunch of low hanging
fruits to pick from.
This is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't know who is the "volunteer"
here, me for obvious reasons, or the Python community for doing some free
hand-holding. Now I know how I'll spend the next year. Thank you!
Also consider the core-mentorship mailing list and the dev guide at
