Are we interested in participating in the December 2021 round of

Christian, Peff, and I discussed off-list that we would each try to pull
together funding for one intern from GitHub and GitLab respectively.

Yeah, and we submitted an initial community application.

If we're interested, the project submission deadline is September 23rd
[1]. By then, we'd need:

  - Volunteers to act as mentors

I am ok with co-mentoring 2 interns.

  - Updates to our applicant materials on git.github.io (project ideas,
    as well as potential microprojects).

About microprojects, I have been wondering if there are run_command*()
calls that could be replaced by direct calls to C functions like what
Junio did in ffcb4e94d3 (bisect: do not run show-branch just to show
the current commit, 2021-07-27), and if that could make a good
microproject.

About project ideas, maybe continuing Hariom Verma's GSoC 2020 "Unify
ref-filter formats with other \-\-pretty formats" project could be and
idea, though maybe it could interact too much with ZheNing Hu
continuing his GSoC 2021 "Use ref-filter formats in `git cat-file`"
project.
