Description

For a while now, we have been using the `starter` label across our repos as a way to indicate to people who would like to contribute that that issue might be a good place to start making contributions. (see https://github.com/dwyl/labels/issues/36)

However, GitHub has now introduced its own `good first issue` label (hex #7057ff) as part of [their default labels](https://help.github.com/articles/about-labels/#using-default-labels) for new repos

Given that GitHub plans to make this new label and `help wanted` more discoverable and they will be added by default to all new issues, should we consider swapping our `starter` label for `good first issue`?

@varjmes Wondering if you have any thoughts on Github's new label and its effectiveness/wording?
