Good First Issue is an initiaitive to curate easy pickings from popular projects, so developers who've never made a contribution to open-source can get started easily.
Open-source maintainers are always looking to get more people involved, but new developers generally think it's difficult to become a contributor. We believe getting developers to fix super-easy issues removes the barrier for future contributions. This is why Good First Issue exists.

This is an open source project github.com/good-first-issues/good-... that collects a list of issues labeled “good firts issue” and publishes them on GitHub Pages.
I might try. It is hard to get a contributor on a project. Not even sure about testers. How many have been using it? What are feedbacks (beyond starring?)
We just rolled it out last week with a simple goal: discovery of easy picking issues from repositories in GitHub. We haven't implemented any specific telemetry yet. If you have some ideas, please create an issue here - github.com/deepsourcelabs/good-fir... and let's implement it :)
This is cool! Gonna check it out 🥳
