I have volunteered to Mentor "extending xfstests and/or ffsb to
address btrfs and/or ext4 snapshots".

I await a student, but I'm in contact with a group of 4 students out
of Pune U. in India that have the right background.  (I've worked with
Pune students before.)  I believe one of them will apply for that
project.

But then as I just posted, the openSUSE project will prioritize
whatever number of slots they have amongst the proposals / students.

I don't know how that selection process works in detail.  But as a
potential mentor, I know I get to participate / argue for my project.
I don't know how many slots openSUSE will get.

As to SaX, I'd be surprised if a bunch of opensuse people don't vote for that.
