Fix #9652.

At the moment it is not really clear what the difference between "good first issue" and "Easy" is. I try to word the documentation in a way that makes "good first issue" the first point of entry for new contributors.

Note: at the moment there is no issues with the "good first issue" tag. I am hoping that this will get populated with time.

Do you think that it would be good to add something to code review guidelines? In the sense that people who wants to start reviewing PRs could start for those labeled as good first issue?

Hmmm not entirely convinced. It feels like the skills required to review a PR (even a simple one) are significantly higher than to tackle a "good first issue".

I think what you should say is "If this is not your first contribution, you should let someone else take it."

So "good first issue" are the "training wheel" ones, and "easy issues" are something were we need help? I'm not sure what a good thing to communicate is, but I feel right now, easy issues often end up more work to review than doing it ourselves. Though they are important in creating a funnel.
