I agree. FWIW Ankit seems really motivated and has offered help with some
GSoC automation scripts outside his SoC. I think he'll stay and get the
membership sooner or later.

Still I think we should establish a policy of maybe waiting a few months
after the GSoC before a student is eligible for Foundation Membership or
so, so people don't feel bad if they're rejected before end of SoC because
there's simply a rule, I.e. something non personal. Just an idea at the
side.
