While these are good for GSoC applicants before they do a real project, I didn't read the "where I can contribute?" as such---it asks for something more real, not a toy "dip my toes" practice.

Perhaps looking for #leftoverbits in the list archive may be another approach that would give readers a problem with real upsides?
