I definitely want to do it seriously, but I realize that it starts way
sooner than I thought.
Basically I will be more settled from end of May. Before that, my
schedule and my internet time will be limited, just like now. It still
means that I will read all my emails and will answer them. But it may
mean that my response time can be a few days (like it is currently).

How would such a thing work with gsoc? Is it acceptable?

On my side, I would concentrate on GIMP side.
There are many things that can be improved in GIMP, with or without a
GEGL piece too, and I definitely can propose and mentor various
projects.
