I think setting up something like snowpatch[*] to run CI on patches that have hit the mailing list but not yet hit "seen" might be a good project for an interested applicant (and I'd be interested in co-mentoring if we find a taker). Some other topics that could be interesting: - better support for handling people's name changing - making signing features such as signed push easier to use (for example by allowing signing with SSH keys to simplify PKI) and more useful (for example by standardizing a way to publish signed push logs in Git) - protocol: sharing notes and branch descriptions - formats: on-disk reverse idx - obliterate - cache server to take advantage of multiple promisors+packfile URIs Jonathan [*] https://github.com/ruscur/snowpatch
