I agree that this is not great.

Say someone with 25 years of programming experience but with 0 sympa
experience wants to give a hand. I assume one of those issue would be
a good starting place for them to get to know sympa better, but they
might be put off by the word beginner which they probably feel doesn’t
fit their situation.

In GNOME we ended up with “newcomers” which addresses all these issues nicely.
