Thank you for this insight Sohom, listing this mailing list there is ok, but a link to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code would be quite more useful for readers.

@AndreKlapper We should probably remove this mailing list from the description page in Google Summer of Code (this was what the page looked like last year) and add links to more beginner-friendly starting points (New_Developers, How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker, Zulip chat, IRC etc) instead.

IMO, that page is more popular among new developers compared to the one hosted on mediawiki.org, since quite a lot of new developers will go through lists of previously chosen organizations that are available on the Summer of Code website and then choose a few cool projects rather than Googling for a specific organization and their status wrt to GSoC.

The comment above on creating a help page for GSoC MediaWiki was not directed at you, Viren Variya and Ashish Tiwari. Please just refer to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers for now. Pick a project, explore the codebase, understand what the software does, understand what are the issues or feature requests, and ask smart questions when in doubt.

While working on any project, it's good to ensure that it's needed and identify the requirements before you start working on it, neither of which has happened here. If creating a help page were a project (it is not), you would have been given more context and details about what needs to be done.
