Hi Patrick, Karthik and Christian,

For the note, other project ideas and volunteer are always welcome. So, 
feel free to chime in if you have any ideas or wish to volunteer as a 
mentor to guide potential future contributors of the community. :-)

Thanks, Patrick! It would be great if you could share the same as soon 
as possible. The deadline for applying to GSoC is Feb 6 (18:00 UTC) and 
we need the ideas page to be decent enough before we go ahead with 
applying for this year.

If the elaborate project description could take time, feel free to share 
a paragraph or two that are supplemented with a few references. That 
should be sufficient for applying to GSoC.

Christian,

It would be great if you could look into and improve the detail for the 
unit test migration idea. I just added a very terse description based on 
what I could get my hands on. If you think the description we used for 
the Outreachy round would do, kindly update the page with the same or 
kindly share it here so that I could update the same in the ideas page :-)

Sounds good. Thank you for volunteering to co-mentor, Karthik!
