I would say we can do the same for GNU LibreDWG (gnu.org/s/libredwg),
although most of the current tasks are relatively complex.

IIRC Gnash has a long list of tasks, lots of them regarding translation
and documentation, which would fit GCI perfectly.

I think we should have at least 3 packages in to get a reasonable count
of tasks.

I'm not sure "who" makes that decision. The deadline for application is
29 October at 23:00 UTC. Maybe we should bring this discussion up to
gnu-prog-discuss.
