Thanks, but it's not about the technical support: if we have a GSoC student, I am prepared to assist them with technical issues on this mailing list and GitLab issues/MRs, just like with all new contributors. There is just an additional aspect to mentoring, namely overseeing the planning, making sure the student invests the right amount of work (not too little nor burning themself out) and evaluating the project, which I prefer to leave to others.

Another thing is that GSoC projects are no longer restricted to three months. The time interval can be stretched up to six months if desired by the student and/or the mentor. Werner
