Vadim, the idea of removing the Difficulty labels and repurposing "Easy"
for intro issues sounds good to me. It sounds like "Starter" as you
envision it is a subset of "Contributions Welcome" as Roman envisions it. I
wonder if there is some way we can align these better.
It looks like _most_ of the "Contributions Welcome" issues would also make
good starter issues. A few wouldn't. Maybe we switch most of them to
Starter, and the few that aren't really starter issues, we instead label
with "Idea" ("idea" meaning it's an idea for a cool change that the issue
author doesn't plan to implement him/herself). Then, we wouldn't need
"Contributions Welcome" anymore.
