Hello!

As you hopefully are aware the First Contact SIG strives to provide a place
for new contributors to come for information and advice. Part of this is
helping new contributors find more established contributors in the
community they can ask for help from. While the group of people involved in
the FC SIG is diverse in project knowledge, we don't have all of them
covered.

Over the last year we have built a list of Project Liaisons to refer new
contributors to when the project they are interested in isn't one we know
well. Unfortunately, this list[1] isn't as filled out as we would like it
to be.

So! Keeping with the conventions of other liaison roles, if there isn't
already a project liaison named, this role will default to the PTL unless
you respond to this thread with the individual you are delegating to :)  Or
by adding them to the list in the wiki[1].

Essentially the duties of the liaison are just to be willing to help out
newcomers when a FC SIG member introduces you to them and to keep an eye
out for patches that come in to your project with the 'Welcome, new
contributor' bot message. Its likely you are doing this already, but to
have a defined list of people to refer to would be a huge help.

Thank you!
