Here are my two cents about finding issues to contribute to - imho, subscribing to everything in the big project is tough and hard to filter, so I end up writing an utility - github.com/igorperikov/mighty-watcher. I am going to write an article about it, but it's not ready yet. I used to struggle trying to pick up issues, which turned out to be unavailable for non-employees, so utility search only for issues labeled as "help wanted" and other similar labels. What do you think about this? Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Hi Igor, I agree with you with regards to the influx of email notification. I like the idea behind the tool you are building and please feel free to share a link to your article once it's live and I would be personally intrigued try it out.
Navigating through a pool of Github issues to find out if there is anything to work on is a very time consuming process and any tool that could help would be great. Maybe in addition to all the existing filters you could also pull down the comments on that issue and this would open the door for eliminating issues that are taken (or inversely issues taken but, has no pull request for a while).
All in all, great initiative I think. All the very best.

Thanks, yes I am thinking about further improvements, but none sounds 100% consistently good.
Actually, the readme already contains enough information on how to launch it, so you can already try it out
Rafiullah, I just posted it! :)
