Showcase work of new contributors

Registered by Daniel Holbach

With the bug fixing initiatives in full swing we should showcase the work of new contributors to inspire others to follow their lead. Possible things we could do:
 - Regularly interview new contributors about their experience.
 - Figure out a way to track adoption and success of these initiatives.
