Yeah, this is a good idea.

In fact, we can provide an application template to students via the
Melange system. I don't recall doing so in the past few years, but we
did use this feature at one point:

  https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SoC2007Template

However, I don't recall it leading to especially better-quality
applications (in fact, it may have made things worse because many
students filled it out in a very perfunctory way and then assumed that
was enough).
