Note that Andrei (I think) set up a "bootcamp"[1] keyword on bugzilla for 
easy issues a while back; the problem has been solved though maybe not 
advertised consistently. The wiki's "Get Involved" page includes a link to 
preapproved and bootcamp issues. CONTRIBUTING.md also links to it - maybe 
it's just on the forums nobody talks about it...
