There's now also a bunch of projects at Phobos that can be used 
for onboarding:

Bugzilla is also full of real goodies (from beginner bugs to new 
features).
There's still the bootcamp tag.

Something that currently is vastly under-explored is DMD as a 
library.
A simple project could be to use it generate C header files or a 
more advanced version would be to use it to implement/kick-off a 
tooling project.

Last, but not least, there's 
https://wiki.dlang.org/GSOC_2018_Ideas, but that's probably a bit 
too big for their first contribution.

Also the State of D survey has a few responses:
