Hi again :)

I've already replied to this email when it reached Phillip and me in
private and redirected it to the mailing list. So I'll repeat what I've
said in my reply mail just so that others are aware that I've responded
to it.

I would strongly recommend reading through [1] and [2]. They should give
you some ideas for how the Outreachy application process is designed to
work in the Git project and lays out the expectation of us mentors.
