beginners project: RENAME_EXCHANGE
As people are looking for beginners projects one in a while there's an easy one at the moment: implement support for the RENAME_EXCHANGE flag to the renameat2 system call, which swaps the names for two existing files. Documentation here:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/rename.2.html
This should mostly be doable by refactoring (or more likely copy & pasting) the existing rename implementation. xfstests already has test case for it, although making sure they covering everything would be a nice extrea.
(if no one replies to the list I will add it to the wiki after a while)

I don't think you still qualify as beginner :) Joking aside: I'd love you take on this one!

:) I'm a bit rusty with upstream stuff, so, good way to get myself involved
again.
Will work on that soon.
Cheers
