Yeah, sorry for not discussing that before, and thanks for starting the discussion. > So, I was curious to know if we've already applied to participate > in GSoC 2021 (or) if we're planning to participate? I don't think we have applied yet, but I would be ok to apply.

In the ideas list Shourya is mentioned as a possible (co-)mentor to a project to finish the builtin conversion of `git submodule`, as he told me that he could be ok with co-mentoring on this.
