Easy bugs for newcomers

Several Free/Open Source Software projects maintain lists of "easy hacks" (or "easy bugs", or "newcomer bugs", or similar expressions depending on the project), meant to be good starting points for new code contributors.

Below you can find a list of such "easy hacks" listings, for well-known FOSS projects.
