A non-quoted but yet important part of my initial email was:

and for now, no one stepped in to admin.

I would like to point everyone to this reply from Jeff King on the
original post: [1]
(In case this was lost in the midst of other emails) It sounds like
Jeff King is okay
with taking up the "admin" role.

    I do not mind doing the administrative stuff.  But the real work is in
    polishing up the ideas list and microprojects page. So I think the first
    step, if people are interested in GSoC, is not just to say "yes, let's
    do it", but to actually flesh out these pages:

Yeah it was also my impression based on the above that Peff would be
ok to take up the admin role.

Now if he doesn't want for some reason to take it, then I am ok with
us not applying, but again it would have been better to be clearer
about that before the eve of the deadline.
