This is good news! Sorry for talking out of my ass. This seems to have
changed in recent years.

I have added a blurb to our wiki explaining the new arrangement. Could
you add a link to https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode somewhere in
http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects such that students can find
the project ideas for GCC?

Thanks,
