> I've ended up digging through lists of tough bugs each with fairly impressive sounding discussions by people who are way more familiar with the whole ecosystem than I am and it's sort of intimidating.

Sometimes it's small things, like documentation. For example:

http://bugs.python.org/issue17701



Good point, but you have to admit that the site does not look inviting at all and that a novice has no idea where to start.

And their bug tracker is fairly pretty too.
