No, the submission date for ideas was yesterday.

If you want to mentor - or being a backup - you have to select an
existing project. Note, that the current list will be trimmed, see the
rules on

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC

so if you can help out that would be great.

Feel free to contact Pavlo and me off-list.

Thanks !

Best regards,
