This suggests the implicit rule that, if GNU gets 10 slots for
amazing projects, we will have to give one slot per project.

I suggest mentors review all projects (as we are supposed to do,
right?), rate them 5 if they find them "amazing", and below five
otherwise.

"Amazing projects" will be the ones with only-5 votes.  If we
have less than 5 amazing projects, let's get to another threshold,
and pick up projects with lower notes.

What do you think?
 
 As rightly said by Nikos earlier in this thread, and I quote ,
"This would, however, prevent mentors from a project to select their
"amazing" by putting 5, and the rest with 4, as someone unrelated could
upvote/downvote one."

Also, some of our students have been communicating with us for some time now and even submiting patches, and their proposals would be a bit technical and focused. In that case, the evaluation of a mentor who is from another org(and maybe doesnt know about the particular org's project too well) might not add to the *qualitative* weight of the vote.
