Thanks for the tips - I added some discussion points for our next meeting.

I'd like to try doing both:

"I recommend bug X for front-end work, Y for back-end work, and Z if you
want a challenge. But if these are uninteresting, see the full list of good
second bugs!"

I find that the recommended bugs are usually the chosen ones, but I wonder
if some contributors have something they're extremely interested in and
limiting their choices holds them back. But at the same time, I can see a
counter-argument for decision paralysis. Perhaps a bug list is better for
the [good third bug] (or fourth!) case?
