I don't use "Contributions Welcome" exclusively for starter issues. I do _not_ put this label though on issues that are impossible or hard to validate without a production cluster (with specific type of load, perhaps). So the assumption is that anyone just with a laptop and IDE could contribute these issues, in theory.
