As a wanabe Dev I think the hardest thing is to find an open issue I can actually fix and to have a mentor to help make sure I don't miss something I did not know about.

Does the "easy" tag help with that at all? It's intended to mark issues that aren't delving into deep dark corners of the interpreter or standard library, but when you've been doing this for a long time one's judgment of what's easy and what's difficult can get a little askew.

(e.g. I recently marked the task of fixing the enumerate docstring as easy, but that does still require knowing how docstrings work for C code)

Cheers, Nick.
