Welcome to the Bugzilla project!

Getting a dev environment set up is very important -- and has gotten
easier recently!
I wrote a blog post that describes getting one set up:

(this will be folded into the regular documentation as soon as I find a moment)

If you don't have a linux environment, let me know and we can work with that.

After you get a dev env set up, try taking a look at one of the bugs in
this list: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3Dbugzilla%20mentor%3Adylan%40mozilla%20assignee%3Abugzilla.bugs&list_id=13099224

There's only three there -- but don't worry, those are just the ones
that I think someone should start out on.
Once you've got one patch submitted the second and subsequent ones are
much easier.

Feel free to ask questions -- my irc nick is dylan and I'm in the
#bugzilla channel during typical-ish US/Eastern daytime hours (handy
