I am sure that there will be folks who are involved who will work with
you if you select one of the projects we suggested. We don't suggest
projects we are not interested in. The old timers who suggest them and
are willing to mentor usually do get involved in them.

We cannot guarantee that your work will be merged, as some better
solution might be found, or someone else will decide to do it in
another way and it might turn out to be better. But otherwise you can
be pretty sure that your work will get reviewed. It might take some
time and we might ask for a lot of changes in the reviews though.

I think we are open to answering specific questions about what is
required for the work we suggest. We might sometimes be wrong though
and realize it later, so the requirements (or sometimes the whole
solution we suggest) could change along the way. That's how software
development works. And even in this case the fact that we realize that
our requirements were wrong is an achievement.
