I think part of labeling something as a good first issue should include saying what types of developer it's a good first issue for (e.g. if it's for CSS devs, Ruby devs, people who really want to do documentation, etc.). I think in general, though, issues for new contributors should be really small in scope (like, on the level of one- or two-line fixes) and well-documented, since that makes them an easier launching pad for people to start working on a project.
