In short, you are suggesting to have a *very specific list of tasks* so that people can check and choose whatever suit them. If that is so, I highly agree. From 4 years with heavy involvement within several Ubuntu Communities, I can admit that one of the things that pushed away many beginners and newcomers is the lack of *very specific list of tasks* ... We do have this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GettingInvolved And I call it a masterpiece that I have put so much sweat, blood and tears to build from scratch. It is designed to guide you through the steps without the need to ask one single Q. However, it is not designed - apparently - to newcomers and beginners. Those with some experience and skills had no problems to go through that page. In fact, some of them emailed me and saying "we are already" and "we have gone through the steps on that page" so that was a very happy moments for me. On the other hands, I have had hard time with newcomers who has almost no previous experience in any community or any kind of work. I guess if we could just add 'new' section to the getting involved page: a very specific list of tasks ..
