Perhaps we should collect these ideas into an easy to parse web page we
can put on getfedora.org and whatcanidoforfedora.org ?

Yes, the best option is the first one you mentioned:

Opening tickets in pagure is quite difficult for a newbie, because he doesn't even know how Regions are called and what FAmSCo is.
A FAmSCo ticket is definitely wrong here.
I also would direct him to IRC, although even that is rather tricky if you are not comfortable with this kind of communication.

getfedora.org and whatcanidoforfedora.org are also not ideal, this kind of information and a "contact" (template?) could and will probably be part of Fedora Hubs.
The Ambassador team hub will have this possibility of interaction with new users and contributors.
I really hope we can get live with something (even if ready only partially) very soon, there is a real need of Hubs.

Regards.
