It's great to get new contributors into the project.  I don't think,
however, that there is a need for yet *another* gateway project.  This
is the purpose of the Mentors project.  The epidemic of "create a new
project" is problematic for volunteer projects like Fedora because it
promotes fracturing already limited resources.  Instead of starting yet
another subproject, see how you can work this angle from within an
existing subproject like Mentors.  There is not a lot of activity in
Mentors already, so if you are energetic, you can help drive Mentors
where you think it should go.
