Thanks. It is very good that you recommended the documentation on the contribution process.

The tasks for microproject are designed to be easy to solve and the changes in the patches themselves would not be the interesting part for new contributors. Rather, it is designed for a new contributor to experience the contribution process from the beginning to the end, from coming up with an initial patch and explaining it well, sending it to the list in the established way, receiving and responding to review comments, and move on to the next iteration.
