Dear maintainers, I would like to ask you to move your projects from [1]
to [2] you are no longer interested in to mentor, or at least to remove
your name. I think last year, or the year before, students were
disappointed to apply for projects nobody was really willing to mentor.
Thank you in advance.

We don't actually capture a summary of the end state of GSOC projects, do we? We have a list (none in 2019, correct?) with links to the students' GSOC blogs [1]. Would it be useful to apply some sort of a 'status' column to those projects tables? (Active, complete/merged, code submitted pending review, needs work: partially completed, needs rework, etc?) Looking at that list I was wondering how many have had things 'completed' after the summer vs just collecting dust, since it lives outside our normal bug/patch tracker with status/age tracking. (e.g., I co-mentored 2018 code suggestion feature. I think it was ready for consideration for merging but then went stale. I assume I'm not the only case of that.) I think it would be useful for us on the org side to track how we're doing. Are there people around who could tag most of that list?
