The GSoC contributor application deadline is April 2 - 18:00 UTC, so
(co-)mentors and org admins are already welcome to volunteer. As usual,
we also need project ideas to refresh our idea page from last year
(https://git.github.io/SoC-2023-Ideas/). Feel free to share your
thoughts and discuss.

I am volunteering as both an Org Admin and a mentor too.

I am not sure how many tests there are left to be ported to the new
unit test framework. Patrick told me about porting some reftable unit
tests to the new unit test framework though. So it might still work as
a GSoC project.

Yes, the tests in t0032-reftable-unittest.sh should be ported over to
the new unit test framework eventually, and I think that this might be a
good GSoC project indeed.

If there is interest I'd also be happy to draft up some more topics in
the context of refs and the reftable backend. I'm sure there should be
some topics here that would be a good fit for the GSoC project, and I'd
be happy to mentor any such project in this context.

I noticed that the starting period falls right into my honeymoon from
June 17th until July 19th. This unfortunately makes it quite a lot
harder for me to mentor projects alone. Still, I'd be happy to co-mentor
or help out in other ways.
