Hy!
Some of you might already have seen, but GitHub and Digitalocean are running the "Hacktoberfest" this month[1]. To participate, one has to fix 4 issues or start/finish 4 pull requests which have to labelled as "Hacktoberfest". If you succeed you get a T-shirt.
I think that it might be a nice thing to improve participation and it might even be good to attract a new developer. So I'd suggest that all incoming pull requests this month and some of the easier issues should be labeled thus.
