Unfortunately, as new GSoC org, we didn't get as many slots as we
requested, so we were forced to reject some, even good proposals.

Yes, that's fine. If you finish early, we can always extend the project
;)

Yes, exactly.

If you install packages on the same machine as you build them, then yes.
But if you transfer them using some untrusted channel (network or such),
signing may be useful. All you need for that is to have some key
generated, and adjust builder.conf: SIGN_KEY=<key-id>, NO_SIGN=0.

Pro tip: if you work on a single component (or some subset of them), you
can adjust COMPONENTS in builder.conf to include only what you need. It
will make things a lot faster.
