Not quite.  They send their application to Google, who will forward it to the
PSF.  Then the PSF decides whether it wants to take on the responsibility of
acting as mentoring organization for the project.

Not necessarily.  As long as the PSF takes on the project it will be our
specific burden to help.  Obviously with Wax being your project it would be
good if you could act as the direct mentor for the person on the project.  It
would probably help its chances on being cleared if you did help out.

And a quick disclaimer; I believe David Ascher is acting as the goto guy on SoC
for the PSF so he has final say.
