But fixing them is not so easy...

Sorry for being destructive, but we do not have easy coding tasks
for newbies.

If it's easy it's already fixed, and dozens of people following your
advice to look at e.g. compile or sparse warnings will only generate
much noise, but they'll have a hard time finding anything they are
capable to fix.
