Thanks for your applications! I'll only reply to this email as I'm not
mentoring the other project.

One thing missing here is the work with upstream in case we want to
implement any functionality that doesn't yet exist in clar. You mention
it in "Additional Goals and Extensions" though, so that might be good
enough.

Other than that this looks good to me, thanks! Please don't forget to
upload your applications to Outreachy if you haven't done so already.
