I asked this question the GitHub co-pilot, right at the top of GitHub.
There were some interesting answers. There are "issues" tagged as "good first issues" or "help wanted". I am a bit skeptical about these.
First of all what could be considered "easy to contribute" would depend a lot on the experience of the person. Both in programming in general and in the specific language in particular. It would depend a lot if the person has experience in contributing to open source project or is new to this.
The amount of time-investment is also a big question. For me an "easy contribution" would not take more than an hour, but when I looked at issues marked as "good first issues" I encountered lots of problems that I felt would take me many hours to even understand.
Others might be faster or they might consider investing 20-30 hours still in the "easy to contribute" category.
Anyway, if you would like to encourage people at your company to contribute to Open Source project and you feel a little push would help, I am running workshops to help people get involved in Open Source projects. Talk to me to discuss this.
