Create new first-timers-only issues

First-timers issues are those issues, which are written in a very engaging, welcoming way, far differently than the usual "just report the bug" type of GitHub issue. To read more about these, check out firsttimersonly.com (the lead image is from their site), which really captures how and why this works, and is beginning to be a movement in open source coding outreach! Beyond the extra welcome, this also includes getting such well-formatted issues out in front of lots of people who may be contributing to open source software for the very first time.

That means anyone can work on this issue any number of times and their contributions would be counted.
