That sounds fantastic! ❤

I will also encourage the idea of restricting somehow these issues to "first timers" only. It could be by politely rejecting the PRs of people who are not first time contributors (unless the issue is somehow critical). It could also be by saying that an issue can be taken by a first-time contributor within a month of its creation. Afterwards it's open for everyone.

I think that a post like that will have a positive effect. You can give it a try a few times and see if it works :)
