I think it is ok if we propose that task first and then the "Unify
ref-filter formats with other --pretty formats" project in case the
student finishes the first task soon. Or do you see other tasks for a
student after this?

Anyway I don't think we should have both one student working on the
"Unify ref-filter formats with other --pretty formats" project and
another one on this task.

But yeah, if you want, feel free to send a pull request to add it with
the above caveats.
