I'd prefer not co-mentoring this one. If this is the only one you'd be ok to co-mentor I could reconsider though. > Some other topics that could be interesting: > - better support for handling people's name changing Following discussions about mailmap, name changes, deadnames, etc during the Inclusion Summit yesterday and the day before, I am interested in co-mentoring such a project along what has been discussed. > - making signing features such as signed push easier to use (for > example by allowing signing with SSH keys to simplify PKI) and more > useful (for example by standardizing a way to publish signed push > logs in Git) > - protocol: sharing notes and branch descriptions > - formats: on-disk reverse idx > - obliterate > - cache server to take advantage of multiple promisors+packfile URIs Would you be ok to elaborate about the above projects? I am not very much excited about any of them, but I would be ok to co-mentor as long as my co-mentor would come up with a proper project description. Thanks, Christian.
