As with anything, the simple bugs tend to be removed quite quickly, I don't
think many kernelhackers leave the easy bugs "just to be nice to newbies" -
whenever a bug is discovered they are fixed.
However, I discovered http://eudyptula-challenge.org/ a little while ago.
Be warned, I haven't tested it, not sure what the challenge is like, but
might as well be a good place to start.
Good luck!
