Nope, that is just plainly incorrect. The most successful GSoC project we had was Miklos' builtin-merge, but the code had to grow to a state that both him and me were comfortable with a submission to git@vger. The _communication_ should be open, and much of it on the mailing list, I agree, but _only_ after the student is familiar enough with the aspects of her project (including some familiarity with the source code). I will _not_ force a student to ask questions openly that he finds embarassing.
