MDEV-38673: Focus the pick-a-task wording in CONTRIBUTING.md

[gkodinov]

The wording on how to pick a task in CONTRIBUTING.md is a bit weak. A more focused message is needed to highlight the tasks that are available for people to work on.

what's this? shouldn't it part of #4661 ?

Not really: it's cleaning the URLs in CONTRIBUTING.md. Best Regards, Joro

This looks fine - note also the #4640, for example the dedicated Q&A is no longer relevant.
