We have been quite successful in the recent past getting GSoC support,
so I think that "warm bodies" won't be a problem, and the Django and
webapp (eg GitHub) integration side of things gets a lot of proposals,
though to be frank they have tended not to be very strong.  I think if
we had more specific project descriptions (the GitHub integration
blurb was literally "better GitHub integration" :-P) we'd get better
proposals.

Yes (isn't it every app's??), although users who bang hard on the UI
combined with a flexible backend and developers who aren't afraid of
refactoring the UI can go a long way.

Of course all that's blue sky at present.
