Supporting `first-timers-only`to aid first time contributions

Community Proposal

meta ~"open source"

Summary

Should we consider supporting the first-timers-only movement when labelling our issues?

Relevant info

If you are an OSS (Open Source Software) Project owner, then consider marking a few open issues with the label first-timers-only. The first-timers-only label explicitly announces:

I'm willing to hold your hand so you can make your first PR. This issue is rather a bit easier than normal. And anyone who's already contributed to open source isn't allowed to touch this one!

First timer contributions are normally very small and easy (One recent first-timers-only issue was literally three lines of simple changes! And the changes were described in great detail and tested by the project maintainer). But this makes it easier for the contributor to get the hang of the contribution process rather than the contribution itself. Remember, this isn't as much about getting your project features implemented quickly as it is about helping first timers.
