We won't do that.  This 'push' is exactly what you have to do *by
yourself*, thus demonstrating the necessary skills for initiating and
completing a project.  I suppose that you've read our GSoC page,
haven't you?

  https://freetype.org/gsoc.html

One of the very first things written there is to subscribe to the
mailing list, which you didn't do...

It is *your* job to do the necessary internet searches, sorry.

A tip: Go to

  https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/freetype-devel/  ,

search for 'gsoc' and read the e-mails.  I'm rather sure this will
answer most of your questions.
