We've had GSoC interns on this project in the past -- I was a mentor for
a few years. Then interest for Subversion amongst GSoC candidates waned
to the point where there were none for a couple years, and we stopped
signing up for that. Part of the reason was that Subversion simply was
not as popular as before, another part was lack of time for mentoring.

This second consideration (lack of time) would also be a problem for our
participation in Outreachy. I have not looked closely at that program,
however, so that's just my feeling, not a considered opinion.
