The Mindshare Committee discussed this in their weekly meeting. Here are the notes:

Benefits of an "easyfix" website
- highlighting easyfix / newcomer friendly bugs across a project has huge potential to help on-ramp new contributors
- can help improve process for mentored projects, easyfix tasks are a part of the process of onboarding outreachy applicants
- Mindshare generally agrees this is a great tool, and we want to help support the initiative to improve the site

Our knowledge of status
- no idea if it has actual users now. i cant imagine it does, it's confusing
- not very intuitive, not sure where to start

Teams/Groups that should be involved
- Mindshare is a great way to coordinate the easyfix triaging, since we are connected to the most active teams on the Mindshare side. Can provide a lot of support with the internal outreach needed.
- We should involve FESCo. That committee talks about standards. Do we have a standard tag for easyfix and newbiefriendly across issue tracker tools?
- We should involve the D&I team, we want to ensure the site is accessible and any DEI concerns taken into consideration.
- The Join SIG specializes in this work, want to make sure their experience working on the front line is heard in this discussion.
- Fedora Council should be aware of the discussion and provide input if desired
- Translations team should be aware of the discussion and provide input if desired.

Ideas for Features/Improvements
- more publicity about it via magazine/comm blog
- ask our community members to tag them with easyfix more often
- The initiative should be publicized on the devel list requesting feedback
- Emails should be sent to devel and other lists periodically reminding people to triage
- We would propose "good first issue" instead of "easyfix", as what is "easy" is objective. or use of both tags with different definitions
- Create a badge series for triaging pagure tickets with the tag "good first issue" or "easyfix" to help provide incentive for continual triaging

Thanks for opening the ticket @thunderbirdtr!
