Is there a specific period when that's supposed to happen for GSoC students? Can we arrange for a commitfest to be running then
The GSoC "Community bonding period" is described at http://googlesummerofcode.blogspot.com/2007/04/so-what-is-this-community-bonding-all.html and what to cover is a near perfect match for things like introducing the patch review and submission process. This year, the period from when proposals were accepted on April 26th through the official coding start on May 24th were labeled as being devoted to that. Given the way the release schedule has worked out the last few years, I expect that every year there will be a whole stack of possibly moldy patches sitting in the queue for the first CF of the next version at that point. I don't think we necessarily need to organize a full on CF around that schedule, but picking a small patch for each student to start chewing on during that period would usefully settle them into list interaction and community development process much more gradually than starting that with their code drops.
