These are all good things to mention. Thanks.
It is helpful that Shashank announced early their intention to work
on this. Especially during the busy preparation season for
mentoring programs, it is a good practice to allow other candidates
avoid working on the same microproject.
It is not strictly necessary to prevent multiple candidates from
working on essentially the same microproject, provided they do so
independently. The "graduation" criterion for a microproject is
not whether a finalized patch lands in my tree. It is more about
helping candidate mentees get used to the process of making it
happen.
Enjoy the journey.
