What they (Google) want to ensure is that the *code* you write is pretty much all your own work. Students are obviously strongly encouraged to participate in mailing discussions to come up with design, get feedback, fix bugs, pilfer ideas from other people, etc. Non-trivial code contributions are a bit tricky because it makes it hard to tell, at the end of the "summer" what was the students work and what was other peoples' contribution. That being said, bug fixes, etc, are almost certainly going to be fine. Particularly at this late stage, since you (Andreas) have already written a large body of work.
