Thanks for doing this Jan. I think a ticket category works a lot
better than just a page alone.
Simon and I talked about this once, and another good point is that by
having a category, it's a lot easier for regular, more experienced
developers to sweep the 'newcomers' list and fix anything that needs
it, perhaps for a pending release that may be soon.
But these days we seem to have a somewhat healthy influx of developers
and patches, so maybe these tickets can just get fixed the natural
way. :)

HEADS UP: if you see a ticket that is easy enough to be tackled by a newcomer please tag it using "newcomer" keyword.
I already added "newcomer" keyword to tickets that were listed on the Newcomers page and replaced the static list with dynamicaly generated one. I decided to filter out tickets that have an owner so that people are not redirected to tickets that are being worked on.
incidentally, Debian started to use the same tag "newcomer" to tag its bugs of the same nature: http://www.donarmstrong.com/posts/newcomer_bts_tag/
So our choice of tag was a good one :-)
