That's true - I think as a beginner to a repo you might not take that extra step of filtering though, and just default to looking through "good first issue".
Also I've found that sometimes there are some good tickets to work on that have already been picked up by someone else, but it will have been over a month or quite some time since it has been assigned to them and they never had the chance to work on it.
All good points and we're definitely aware of these issues. Maybe we could aid this process by automatically adding another label when assigning someone, but we're open to all suggestions 😃
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
