For the record, GNU accepted our request, and invited me as a mentor.
So I am now subscribed as a GSoC mentor for GNU.
This does not gives us automatically a slot. I assume in the end, the
choice will depend on how many slots are given to GNU. We'll see.

Since there is a slight overlap in the schedule of the current FSF
internship and GSoC, I asked the FSF contacts if that would be a
problem. Since having Darshan as a GSoC student would be beneficial to
both GIMP (longer contribution from Darshan) and Darshan himself, they
said that would not be a problem to wrap up the FSF internship earlier
if our project got accepted for GSoC.

Now we have to decide of a good project for GIMP/Darshan since GSoC
needs us to decide this first. Note that, as already said previously,
I am more in favor of feasible and more concrete projects for GIMP,
even though maybe less fancy looking that what we used to have for
GSoC. Something which will definitely end up in GIMP in the end. :-)
