Yes, that is a good point. And even if they do, they will only see some cryptic 'types of opportunities' that might not be meaningful to them. Which brings us to the next question... >> How about we add '--<bug_type>' or '--show:<bug_type>' option that would >> limit output to selected types?

While explaining the syntax and usage of the new option (both in man and in '--help') is straightforward, I wonder if we should specifically mention that the gift bugs are meant for newcomers. Something like: 'Hint: If you want to start contributing to Debian you should probably look at 'gift' bugs first. You can do it by running how-can-i-help (...)'. Should we make such a line appear in '--help' output? Won't pointing at 'gift' bugs reduce changes of spotting other, more fitting opportunities? What do you think? Regards, T.
