Looks like we already have a list of some tasks which was made in 2015 -

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Mentoring_Programs/Task_ideas_for_Google_Code-in

Other tasks which might be used for Code-in -

Build LibreOffice from source code on your machine
Remove copy-paste codes (tdf#39593)
Convert manual tests to automated UI tests (tdf#107501)
Write a blog post explaining any ten reasons why our clang plug-in might
cause a build failure when we upload our code to Jenkins (e.g. unused
variables, unnecessary parentheses, redundant cast, etc.)
Convert tests to python (tdf#97361, tdf#97362)
Include Gerrit link in bibisect log (tdf#84479)

In fact, I feel many other bugs in Bugzilla with keyword topicCleanup can
be used as tasks for GCI.
