I think most tasks of http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-soc.html
still need to be done, so we could use that list to start from.

I won't be participating in SoC this year because my boss has enough
work for me during the summer, but I'm afraid that I won't have time
to mentor either. So I would prefer if somebody else who is more sure
about his available time is going to be the mentor. I could be the
backup mentor however.
