These are smaller projects particularly suitable for a first contribution.
* For the main server and web repository, we recommend browsing
recently opened issues to look for issues you are confident you can
fix correctly in a way that clearly communicates why your changes
are the correct fix. Our GitHub workflow bot, zulipbot, limits

in the issue, or it is a bug that you can reproduce and you are
confident you can fix the issue correctly.
