Thanks for bringing this up, and for organizing the NumFOCUS participation!

I suspect we won't participate at all, but if we do then it's likely under
the PSF umbrella as we have done previously.

@all: in practice working on NumPy is just far too hard for most GSoC
students. Previous years we've registered and generated ideas, but not
gotten any students. We're also short on maintainer capacity. So I propose
to not participate this year.
