FWIW, the IETF home page has a link (top left) for "Chat Live with the IETF
Community"
In the 6 months that I used to turn up there regularly, I saw very few other
people, but did handle
a couple of relatively "newbie" questions.
I offer this only as a data point to inform subsequent work.

And well advertised on one or more IETF web pages.
What else can be done to vector newbies (and mentors) to the list?

Perhaps better to merely have 'newcomers' refer to an initial phase of
IETF involvement, rather than thinking of it as first-contact.
