As a member of the target audience for this tag, and an (Australian)
English speaker, from the great suggestions made so far I would choose
one of these tags:
"apprentice"
"initiation"
"mentored"
"newcomer"
"trainee".
Any of these convey the desired meaning more clearly in my opinion.
My clear favourite is "newcomer", because it has the essential
information with a friendly tone, and I have a nice personal reaction
compared than the others. It feels inviting, like this: "OK, if that
bug is tagged newcomer, and I am a newcomer, then *both* Debian and I
think it is a good place to start ... [so a collaborative feeling
arises instantly!] ... so now let's look into the details and begin
work!"
