For instance, we can’t really do infrastructure work such as improving Nixpkgs documentation or maintaining Nixpkgs Hydra, even if we’d really need that for subsequent years, and even if that would help upstream and downstream deve

I’m not sure I understood - why can’t we use the money for that? See e.g unfinished effort.

Apparently there is not that much low-hanging fruit.

Here are some easy to find low handing fruits: Use the 3.skill: sprintable GitHub issue label. As you can see these are mostly very old issues that those who opened them would be deeply satisfied to see them getting closed.

Additionally, it is easy to solve these issues without delving too deep into Nixpkgs details, which is exactly what I understood you were looking for - you don’t need a lot of skill to solve them, and IMO it is exciting to solve ~1 year old issues.
