I am most comfortable working in python and then followed by c/c++ or rust.
So Would not mind working on either of the above suggested tasks. Would
prefer to start with python, get a little familiar with the source code
itself before I take up more tasks if that's ok. I have not been accustomed
to bugzilla, and would love to get the specifics of the python HDL task if
possible.
Thank you
