The Microkernel devroom -- unfortunately! -- did not get accepted by
Google for GSoC 2018.  :-(


The Hurd can still participate under the GNU umbrella, but...

... we'll need mentors for that.  I'll wait if somebody speaks up to
commit to that, and only then ask to again get us listed on
.

Neither will I.  :-/

Nevertheless, I did register with GNU to be a mentor so that I get access
to the GSoC web page, and I'll check from time to time if any
Hurd-related applications come in.

etc.

Can people _please_ help me with all these? (not only on that patch, but
on the whole set of patches which we *DO* need to get into upstream,
otherwise we'll just get pushed out. As a reminder, here is the
remaining set:

- the whole libpthread repository
- t/tls-threadvar
- t/tls
- t/gscope
)

Yes, it's no fun work, but it has to be done, and people can't rely that
it'll magically happen, that won't work.
