First time hear of the helpwanted.a.o. We do not need to develop anything for projects that are on GitHub
Github has long-time standard "good-first-issue" label, that is not only standard but also they are automatically listed when you go to github.com/apache/airflow/contribute for example - it's a nice page with welcoming text and explanation, together with link to your contributing documentation - and list of "good first issues" - and it brings us many, many new contributors (one of the ways we got to more than 3000 of them). We also recognized it already in the past: we have the diversity/comdev initiative https://community.apache.org/committers/good-first-issues.html - where this is mentioned, explained, and projects are encouraged to use it. https://community.apache.org/committers/good-first-issues.html And when you search on https://community.apache.org/ for "help wanted" or "helpwanted" nothing pop's up (good first issue on the other hand prominently shows the page above as first). So I'd say we already moved away from helpwanted. J.
