@Reedy: good first task tasks are self-contained, non-controversial issues with a clear approach and should be well-described with pointers to help the new contributor. Given the current short task description I'm removing the good first task tag. Please re-add the tag once the task description has been polished and provides sufficient information for a new contributor. Thanks!
