A lot of FOSS projects have a list of tasks for potential contributors that are split between easy/moderate/hard or easy/medium/big. It makes entry into the project easier. Is there such a catalogue for emacs development ?

I tagged a few bugs as "easy", you can see the current list here:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?include=tags%3Aeasy;package=emacs
So far nobody else has done such tagging, as far as I know, so the
list is pretty short.

Thank you Noam. I'm guessing there is no general "task" or "rfe" system for emacs development?
In my email, I'm tagging tasks that I said I'd handle or I want to get involved with. But it only covers topics discussed in the past months. I've not yet "discovered" the system that documents where to look for issues I can tackle.

The bug tracker (web interface at [1], M-x install-package debbugs RET
for an Emacs interface) mostly fills that role. There is also
etc/TODO, and some places in the code have TODO lists or comments as
well.

Is there anything about for ex. documentation (that would not be in etc/TODO) ?
Is there a road map (there is one for Magit, but I understand it is not a general practice in foss projects) ?

There are lots bugs in the tracker regarding documentation. The search
capabilities are a bit weak, but this could get you started:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=emacs;include=subject%3Adocstring;include=subject%3Adoc+string;include=subject%3Adocumentation

There's no Emacs road map, everyone working on Emacs follows their own
personal map :)

There ought to be a "documentation" tag somewhere...

Thank you. I guess I have a road map now... :)

Yeah. I added "doc of" and "manual" to the search terms, dropped a few
false positives, and added the usertag "documentation" to the rest.
You can find the result at
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?users=emacs;tag=documentation

If you have installed the debbugs package from GNU ELPA, you could apply
M-x debbugs-gnu-usertags RET
You will see all existing user tags for the "emacs" debbugs
package. Selecting "documentation" shows you all such tagged bugs.
