It's something of a GitHub-wide standard/best-practice to have a "help wanted" or "probably easy" or "good first issue" label:

https://help.github.com/en/articles/helping-new-contributors...

It's the Open Source issue tracker equivalent of the "Welcome mat". It doesn't necessarily mean that Microsoft's employees here need help, but it certainly shows that they welcome it.

(Which is a very useful indicator for engagement and shows presumably some stake in actually continuing to develop Calculator out in the open, as opposed it being a one time or rarely-if-ever code drop.)
