[Paul Robinson via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

probinson added inline comments.


================
Comment at: llvm/docs/BugLifeCycle.rst:80
 
-* CC others not already cc’ed that you happen to know would be good to pull in.
-* Add the "beginner" keyword if you think this would be a good bug to be fixed
+* Add the ``beginner`` label if you think this would be a good bug to be fixed
   by someone new to LLVM.

(And therefore I suggest we retag all 89 open [beginner] issues as [good first issue] and then burninate the [beginner] tag. But I won't do that unless someone tells me to. ;))
There's a similar debate on Discourse, https://llvm.discourse.group/t/good-first-issue-vs-beginner/5850

But I'd say: Do it. :)
