Thats just a not from me, we will review the projects later. Hey Alexander thanks for checking out the project and raising the issue for mentor not being a DD. I just want to mention here that this particular project idea was there last year as well. https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2018/ And the current proposed mentor for it was a student for it last year. His motive behind proposing this project idea is to finish stuff remaining with his idea and get it packaged & deployed for Debian. Although the mentor is not a DD, he is certainly a contributor as he worked on it last year. So at least in my observation the mentor is already a contributor to Debian, which qualifies for him to be a mentor or to list his idea this year. > Alex rajudev
