The bulk of what you're proposing is extremely vague. The #10929 default NULL issue is well known and understood, but detail on your other proposal goes no further than "should be simpler". We agree. Now, how are you going to do that? You haven't given an API proposal, and you're not previously known to the wider community, so we can't judge whether you have good API design skills, or whether you've looked at any of the internals to determine if what you're proposing is technically feasible given the existing infrastructure. On top of that, based on no experience with the query internals, you've assumed that you'll be able to understand the internals of Django's query engine, and then design and get consensus on an API plan in a 2 week window. That's… ambitious. Then you've got a 7 week block to implement this plan. This sort of granularity gives us no confidence that you in any way understand the task ahead of you. If you can't provide a plan at the granularity of days, or a week at the *most*, then it's safe to say you haven't actually thought in detail about the complexity of the problem you're proposing to solve. You're proposing a deep dive into the internals of Django's query infrastructure. Committing to being a mentor for the GSoC is a big commitment, and there is a limited number of people who are in a position to mentor you on this project. When combined with the vagueness of what you're proposing, you haven't exactly inspired the confidence you'll need to convince someone to commit to mentoring you. If you want to be selected for the GSoC, you'll need to provide a lot more details -- most importantly, evidence that you've thought about the problem at a level beyond "this looks like a nice problem".
