Whether someone wants to fix code because they use and have a problem with it, or they just wanted to knock out a random 'good first bug', it's not really up to you.

Personally i think github shouldn't have this feature for a number of unrelated reasons, but don't start excluding one-off noob contributors. Open source is open for a reason.

The idea isn't that excluding noobs is good. But that noobs are coming in not because they want to contribute, but because they want to pad their resume. In doing so, they have diluted the pool in a way that they will not even be padding their resume.
