I would be glad to help as an Org admin this year. I don't suppose I 
have the capacity to mentor / co-mentor this year, though. I could very 
well help as much as I can passively where needed.

One thing to note about the Org application. As per Google's claim we 
should be able to complete this year's application quickly since the new 
webapp allows us to reuse last year's application details. To quote Google,

   If your org applied to GSoC in 2022 your Org Admin will have a very
   quick and easy 2023 application. : ) As mentioned last year, the
   webapp is now evergreen so if your org applied in 2022 all of the
   information for the org application is still in the system so the Org
   Admin will have a couple of quick steps to follow during the
   application window.

Do feel free to let me know if it works otherwise, Christian. I'll be 
glad to look into it.

We certainly are in need of ideas and mentors for this year. Do chime in 
with your thoughts. :-)
