LilyPond has one student (me) with two proposals and 3 mentors.  I
don't know why this isn't in the system, though; i know that my
mentors requested being accepted as GNU mentors.  Did you accept them?

Hmm.  While i'd love having 1 project from each package marked as
amazing, will Google treat us seriously if we specify our lower
threshold so close to the upper threshold?  I think they expect these
numbers to differ at least by a factor of 2, probably more.  Note that
they explicitly say "absolutely most amazing proposals".  Of course
it's hard for an umbrella organization such as GNU to decide between
packages...

best,
