contributing and level up to gain a pool of resources We don't need to wait for easy issues or things like that or wait for PR merge to level up.

I have multiple times strongly recommended that people review issues and PRs, and sometimes given details, but most won't or don't.
I don't know who "people" are in your sentence, but reviewing issues and PRs generally requires a high familiarity with a project, and enough confidence to speak with a voice of (seeming) authority. I'm not convinced it's generally easier than submitting a patch for a particular issue you're comfortable with. Regards Antoine.
