We should probably add some project ideas to do with type annotations e.g.:

https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/28806

There are fairly large parts of the codebase where there can be lots
of bug fixes and other things that come as part of the process of
adding type annotations. It is also something clearly wanted by a lot
of end users, downstream libraries etc.

This one is about type annotations but also about more generally
cleaning up and restructuring the polys domains:

https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/27360

That could be a suitable project for the right kind of applicant.
