Suggestion for New Statistic
The importance of adding such a section is that new members generally are not contenders for any position on any leader-board. While it would seem that they have an opportunity to lead in lists that have a time limit (Threads of the Month, Top Posters so far this month etc) I would argue that people who are well-known within the community are still more likely to take these places since established posters are likely to be known and so other members of the community are more likely to interact with their posts and threads. This is by no means wrong, since it is only natural to gravitate towards those who have proven themselves valuable to the community. However, by setting out a separate list for newcomers, you level the playing field since newcomers would only be competing against themselves. As an extension to this perhaps you could add other fields like Most Promising New Reviewers etc.
P.S: While I would perhaps stand to gain with this suggestion (seeing as I am a new member myself), I assure you that I am posting this because I genuinely believe this would help.

What do you think, @"Scott"?
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.
