There are suggestions for microprojects at [1] and some additional 
guidance at [2]. The test conversions are a good way to get familiar 
with our test suite. To check you're not working on the same thing as 
someone else you should scan the mailing list archives [3] and/or see 
what is in the "seen" branch. In many ways the main point of a 
microproject is to get candidates familiar with sending patches to the 
mailing list and interacting with reviewers. You've shown that you 
understand how to send patches, respond to comments and ask for help 
even if this particular patch (which looked very sensible) did not end 
up being merged.

Thanks

Phillip
