Also, you can still record contributions after the application, but as Ricardo
said, the number of contributions is not the primary metric.

Please, don't get confused. That one is an open discussion, feel free to join.
We would like to have a clearer picture about the community expectations
regarding the project, set up some priorities, and plan some infrastructure for
the work. I would like you to get involved, so that you can also express your
opinion and expectations, as the outcome of the discussion will influence your
work if you are chosen. ( It is very undesirable that you work on something that
you don't like,  it kills morale fast. )

Yes, that would be nice.

I would like you to come up with an initial proposal, and then iterate on that.

I don't think that is necessary, and at the current state of discussion I would
not like to force any tools. Actually I am open to proposals regarding the
concrete implementation ideas, and the set of tools to use.
