Consider this random new contributor's experience:

1. Go to https://www.debian.org/, click on "Get Involved, Contribute"
2. Read https://www.debian.org/devel/join/, points you to "WNPP"


Of course, this is my opinion, but it's debian's primary journey from
the homepage.

agree, it's pretty bad journey. Steps 1 and 2 should point to a wiki
page, the package tracker and/or the bts as ways to contribute for newcomers.

What wiki page?

https://wiki.debian.org/HelpDebian is the closest i have found so
far. it is lacking in specific suggestions, but seems to tick some of
the right boxes, what do you think?

Is it really better than https://www.debian.org/intro/help which I usually use and which it already links to?


The package tracker and/or the bts for which package?

for any package that the newcomer is interested in helping

This suggestion makes no sense to me.
