You are right. What I meant was people here are clearly interested in the act of community development. Therefore, we should each think about what we (as individuals in ComDev) can do to support people in the projects we represent in the broader ecosystem.
That's shouldn't be exclude listing issues in Jira as we do already for GSOC. But it can extend to making sure we actually point people to those lists of issues when someone turns up here.

Maybe I missed something but I haven't seen people looking at doing comdev stuff, the requests I have seen are from people who want to be involved in our projects at the code level. So from this angle IMO what we can do at the comdev level is encourage projects to advertise their help wanted tasks, and maybe suggest a way of doing that that provides some foundation-wide consistency. At the simplest we could just suggest that interested projects provide a "help wanted" link on their website front page, as part of our website guidelines. -Bertrand
