Oh that's an interesting idea that I have not realized so far. We might actually want to use "good first issue" for other contributions - the "issues" in GitHub are not necessarily connected with code - they mostly are of course, and we used them as such, but - especially with the "projects" features, you can easily use and organize issues in GitHub for any kind of activities - I will talk to Briana who is our community manager, I think she will love idea of organising this.
