Yeah, and we submitted an initial community application. > If we're interested, the project submission deadline is September 23rd > [1].

About microprojects, I have been wondering if there are run_command*() calls that could be replaced by direct calls to C functions like what Junio did in ffcb4e94d3 (bisect: do not run show-branch just to show the current commit, 2021-07-27), and if that could make a good microproject. About project ideas, maybe continuing Hariom Verma's GSoC 2020 "Unify ref-filter formats with other \-\-pretty formats" project could be and idea, though maybe it could interact too much with ZheNing Hu continuing his GSoC 2021 "Use ref-filter formats in `git cat-file`" project.
