Thanks for your comment.

Yes some of the issues are really minor and maybe I'm not sure how to do them or whether to do them.

So I focus my time on what makes notable difference to my enjoyment of using the tool or fixing something that annoys me every time I use it. I can be more deliberate about that.

My manager actually recommended I schedule a time to groom my own issues, like we have agile grooming at work. Then I can close issues that no longer matter or I can prioritize which ones to do first. GitHub lets you pin 4 issues in a project, so I like that for focus.

I like your comment on thinking how a task benefits another user. If something has few stars, then few people are really affected by the quality of project or how many things are done. So I should choose which projects and tasks make sense.

Thanks I'll have a look at Getting Things Done.
