We should ask the scikit-image devs how they managed it last summer as I think they had at least one student.

well, maybe. A few years ago Google shifted to preferring fewer, larger, mentoring organizations. So python projects have tended to be handled under the PSF-sponsored organization.
Or we could go half-way, and have a numfocus one…
we need to have a list of viable projects for a
summer student. I suspect that these will have to have a balance
between importance (to justify doing it) and shiny-ness (to get
students to want to do it).
It’s a good idea to develop this list regardless of the sponsoring organization structure.
