- RSS and NNTP access to mailman services
- Authentication of REST API in Postorius/Django
- Fully Anonymization
- Currently the above, but even looking in other possibilities
All of these are things we have need of. If the conversations at PyCon were anything to go by, I think more people are excited by #1, but it is perfectly reasonable if you simply choose whichever one of these appeals to you most.
My skills are in Python, Django little HTML, CSS. Frankly, I don't grade myself to be "expert" but I am in "just - intermediate" stage, where people are not afraid of taking new challenges, roles.
No worries -- we don't have any tasks this year that I would say require an expert, and all of them should be good for getting you more practice in a skill.
Have you had a chance to set up a Mailman 3 development server and play around yet? With your experience with django, you could easily handle some of the bugs in postorius to get some practice working with our code base.

I'd be a little careful about "full anonymization". I would guess it's not a big enough project for GSoC.
