People listed various initiatives and plans in other replies, I'd like
to mention again OpenHatch which I talked a little bit about on the list
before [1]. Some projects like Horizon are set up on it, together with a
list of mentors. The folks that contacted us through OpenHatch had
usually never contributed to open-source before.

I agree mentoring is an excellent way to get people involved with the
community!
