You don’t have to fix them, at least not all of them. You can just add an “open for contributions” or “help wanted” label on GitHub and let other people deal with it.
I sometimes wonder if you could make a name for yourself by being the Johnny Appleseed of FOSS. Go around to many projects and fixing a longstanding open ticket on each.
You’ll have tons of github repos and stars, if nothing else.

People definitely do this, it’s not uncommon. I also need to spend more time contributing to FOSS, it’s a great idea.
