For PouchDB (gardeners welcome - https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb), 90% of my time is between triaging issues and setting up infrastructure for contributions (mostly working on tests / CI).

Sometimes every few days, at least every week I sit and go through all the issues, try and figure out whats needed to close out the old issues, a good percentage of the bugs are ones that need someone to investigate and produce a clear set of steps to reproduce.

Actually after reading I am gonna start tagging these ones specifically for new contributors.

Even as someone who considers myself very reactive to bug reports etc, its very easy to let it slip (https://twitter.com/daleharvey/status/451378807006838784)




OpenFrameworks tags the low hanging fruit issues as 'bitesize'. :)
