I think the work needed to get gitweb-caching actually merged upstream
is going to be a slight bit messier than I'm willing to put a student
through, and couple that with the fact I'm going to be herding 2 or 3
students for kernel.org as already, I won't have enough time to try and
mentor a student through that quagmire.

Should a student be interested in the graphing stuff for gitweb, I'm
happy to make commentary and review things as they come, but that's at
best a co-mentor from me.
