Everything's looking good so far and I'm sure you'll be fine :-)

GSOC is competitive, I'd be disappointed if we didn't encourage you to
give yourself the best chance of acceptance. I'm still awaiting the
admin process over at melange to be completed. I'll try to find some
time to give more detailed feedback once this happens...

Don't feel pressure to submit the site patch until you have time. I'm
not trying to put up hoops that you need to feel you need to jump
through.

Often it takes longer to explain and understand a problem in words
than to contribute a solution in patch form. So, at Apache we like to
encourage contributions in this way.
