Yeah, that was my point.  I don't know what Stefan is saying off list,
but clearly it's too little, too late.  It's really bad form to have
the student participating in the slot request process on a public
list, don't you think?

Note I don't blame Fuqiao.  Although I don't know his work in detail,
he seems to be precisely the kind of student that GSoC wants to
support, engaged in Emacs development and likely to continue.  But
that Emacs is so disorganized as a GSoC subproject that he could
actually come to the point of posting such a thing speaks volumes
about Emacs (as a GSoC subproject).
