True, that's a useful way of onboarding new contributors. Unfortunately
as soon as a bug is tagged with it, someone grabbed it already.
And the old bugs (> 1 year) are probably not "low hanging". I just can
encourage that the people who triage the bugs in their area of expertise
try to check if this is a "new-contributor-friendly" bug and leave it
open for them.
You could also have a look at the bugs in the "Triaged" state. They
should have enough information to fix the bug.
Regarding "non-bug" areas where you can contribute, there are also some
areas which called out explicitley for more help. I remember:
* the API team [1] and
* the notification/tasks area [2].
Maybe it makes sense to reach out to them and ask how you can help there.
