Hi everybody
We still have no mentors for GSOC 2023. Last chance to sign up (with the Python Software Foundation org) is Feb 25.
- You don't need to be a Mailman core dev or a Python guru.
- Generic mail geeks welcome.
- Code spelunking (ie, "grepping for error messages") is very desirable.
- Some Python, obviously.
- Experience using and preferably administering Mailman.
- Opinions about existing bugs and new features a must, of course! ;-)
Requires a couple hours a week, somewhat irregularly, from secondary mentors (you), more like 5-10 from primary mentor (me, and you if the bus factor comes into play).
Anybody interested, let me know. If you have questions about it, please respond on-list so others can see.

We now have mentors (Yay! thanks Abhilash and Danil) and I've applied to PSF as a suborg. More mentors are welcome (that allows us to support more projects).

And Python has accepted us!
The ideas page is https://wiki.list.org/DEV/Google%20Summer%20of%20Code%202023 If you have suggestions for projects, it's probably best to discuss them on mailman-developers@python.org (reply-to set) first because Google has restrictions on some of the tasks that could be eligible (for example, documentation projects have not been eligible in the past--any documentation had to be relevant to code that was sufficient to justify a project in itself).
However, if you have some experience with Summer of Code and have write access to the wiki, you can add ideas directly.
In both cases it's useful to getting them implemented to volunteer as mentor or backup mentor ;-) but that's not required.
