Proposal: Aligning newbie-friendly and help-wanted GitHub Issue labels across the organization

[Oleg Nenashev]

Hi all,

We have a number of component and sub-projects using GitHub Issues as a task tracker. This is a message for those who uses this tracker and wants to attract more newcomer contributors.

GitHub has recently introduced some machinery to help newcomers to discover newbie-friendly and "help wanted" issues across repositories and organizations (see this page). Right now their search works specifically for "good first issue" and "help wanted", so labels like "newbie-friendly" and "newbie" will not work. It 

I am planning to add some GitHub issue queries to https://jenkins.io/participate/code/ . If you maintain repos with GitHub, I suggest to rename labels to the standard GitHub ones so that we could follow the GitHub best practices.

Here are some queries which search across 3 organizations: jenkinsci, jenkins-infra, jenkins-zh

• Good First Issues 
  
• Help Wanted
  

Would also appreciate opinions whether we should include jenkins-zh into the default queries or whether we should host separate ones for the localized communities. 

Best regards,

Oleg Nenashev

P.S: Bonus points for adding the 'hacktoberfest' label to the tickets: https://jenkins.io/events/hacktoberfest :)
