Hey, I am Rushang Gajjal. Hey, I am interested in automating tasks for fun. Enthusiastic about ML, DL, web development and programming in general. I am currently in the 2nd year of my Bachelors of Technology at K.J.Somaiya College of Engineering, Mumbai, India. I am currently a part of the Tech Team in our College Council KJSCE CodeCell.
I am a backend developer with experience in Python along with it's web frameworks Flask and Django and basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript. I have made quite a few Web application using these library frameworks. In the recent year, I have participated in quite a few hackathons and achieve merits in them.
I have been exploring the field of AI too and made a few projects. Participated in a national Level Capture The Flag competition with my team and placed 2nd in the Country. I am used to getting accustomed to new environments, code bases, technologies. You can have a look at my GitHub Page. The projects are available at : https://github.com/RusherRG https://github.com/Team-Probably
GSOC is an amazing platform to showcase one's skills and gain loads of experience. The project ideas of MailmanGNU caught my interest. I am eager to start working on the project ideas. Postorious is one of the things I would like to contribute to as I feel it would be better for me but the Mailmancore is also interesting to work on.
I know that I am a bit late. I wanted to know are there any chances that I might get selected for GSOC under MailmanGNU if I start working from now. Any guidance in preparing the Proposal and contributing would be helpful.
Thanking you.
I wanted the confirmation at the earliest regarding whether they are any chances of me getting shortlisted for GSOC if I start working now so that I can start drafting a Proposal and make a few contributions, Pull Requests.
It mostly depends on the proposal and the quality of the work. If you submit good quality pr and a nice proposal before the deadline then you have a good chance.

There's no "shortlisting". You check the issue trackers on Gitlab[1] for "easy" tasks (some labelled as such, many are not) to satisfy the "get something (anything!) merged" requirement, you ask about specific tasks that might become your GSoC project here, you help other people get their work done, and you submit a proposal.
We'll consider you the same as anybody else as long as you get your proposal in by deadline, and evaluate you based on (1) your prospects for completing the work proposed, (2) the degree of potential for future contribution to Mailman that you show, and (3) the importance of your project to the Mailman project. (1) and (2) are definitely more important than (3) in my opinion. Abhilash is authoritative on these matters if you want more assurance than "Steve's opinion".

Footnotes: [1] Note that there are separate tracker indicies for each subproject if you're not yet familiar with Gitlab. It doesn't matter which subproject you contribute to to satisfy the merge request requirement, since they all use the same process.
Thanks for the guidance. I'll get started and get acquainted to the GNUMailman environment and code-base. Also get the requirement of "merged PR" at the earliest and start working on the proposal based on either an issue already listed or propose a new idea altogether.
Hey, I am having trouble setting up the Postorius. I followed all the steps listed at : http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html
The issue I am facing is that when I try to login in the Postorius Django page I get an error of smtplib sockets. ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused ERROR: "POST /accounts/login/ HTTP/1.1" 500 187646
Please, help me get this solved. If possible a link to a documentation for setting up Postorius such that I like start working on it's GitLab listed issues would be appreciated.
Thank You.

This happens because of the Django not being able to send out emails.
What I usually do is I go into the admin console 'localhost:8000/admin'
and then I login as admin and go to View Site on the top right to bypass
the email verification process.
Please, help me get this solved. If possible a link to a documentation for setting up Postorius such that I like start working on it's GitLab listed issues would be appreciated.
Thank You.

Thanks that worked.
So, in order to start working on the issues listed, is following the process you mentioned fine? Are there any other configurations that should be done?

Depends on what you are doing, but mostly, yes.
If you are implementing something new, then there might be something that could need additional configuration. You can ask questions as you face them.
