Hey, I'm looking for a good "first issue" to contribute to, I was scanning the [help-wanted issues](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Arust-embedded+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22&type=Issues&p=2), but most are years old so I'm afraid they might be outdated.

And more generally, wanted to ask around here before bumping an old issue with questions without having a lot of context.

So if anyone has a good first issue that doesn't require owning specific hardware I'd be happy to help.
I do own a spare STM32 and ESP32, however I'm currently traveling so won't have access to any HW for a while.

Otherwise, I was wondering if anyone's familiar with the following issues. Specifically wondering if I need actual hardware to tackle them, if they still need help, and perhaps a pointer to get started:

- [Adding CLIC peripheral to `riscv` crate](https://github.com/rust-embedded/riscv/issues/124): There's progress on this issue and I'm not exactly sure why the CLIC wasn't implemented, or if the issue is just out of date.
- [Improving error matching on `linux-embedded-hal`](https://github.com/rust-embedded/linux-embedded-hal/issues/74): This one's quite old so was just wondering if it still needs doing or if there's unexpected blockers. Since it's for the `linux-embedded-hal` I'm interested since I can just run changes on my computer.
- [`Capture` trait requires moving/copying channel argument on `embedded-hal`](https://github.com/rust-embedded/embedded-hal/issues/249): Also just a very old issue which makes me wonder if it's still relevant. Also since it's on `embedded-hal` I'm a little unsure about tackling it. It just seems daunting to tackle an API in such an important crate. However there's some linked related PWM issues that were solved, so that makes me feel confident in being able to solve this with those as references (?)
- [Cleanup free functions in `cortex-m`](https://github.com/rust-embedded/cortex-m/issues/642): This one seems really straigthforward, and recent! I'm just mostly wondering if I can somehow test changes on my linux laptop or if I'd need to reach for my STM32 to validate any changes I make.

Apologies if this is off-topic or a lot. In general just feeling a bit lost on where to start or what to tackle, so happy to chat about any of these or other issues for new contributors to the ecosystem :)
