It's less about ability and more about involvement. I believe anyone dedicated enough can go through SoC. However, no matter how skilled you're if you're not willing to work, you won't get anywhere and pypy is by far not the easiest-to-get-through project for SoC. That's why we don't require people to do significant work, but we require them to do *some* work.
