The first issue I tackled was #59 [2] - a request for upgrade command and an upgrade-all command that has been open for over 5.5 years. Over the months following that, I've have had the opportunity to work with and understand multiple parts of pip's codebase while working on this issue and a few others. This search on GitHub issues [3] also provides a good summary of what work I've done on pip.
