Pony, Cat, and Paw: Getting Started with the Open Source Menagerie
summary
Django has about 1,300 open tickets and roughly 500 tickets marked has_patch so find an unassigned ticket or revive a closed PR, click “assign to” with your GitHub username, implement the change, run the relevant tests locally and the Jenkins pipeline will run the rest, include tests and documentation as a minimum, run isort and follow the commit message format from CONTRIBUTING, expect a median two‑week review cycle, use Sprint, IRC or django‑developers mailing list for help, and do ticket triage or PR review while waiting.
