Hi Andrew,

Welcome! Before I go suggesting particular tickets, I just wanted to make
sure that you've taken a look at this section
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Newcomers#Findingaticket of the
Newcomers page! It lists a decent set of tickets deemed workable for
newcomers. This doesn't, of course, mean that you have to go it alone. In
my experience people are always happy to help!

Best,
_ara
