This is debatable, but this may discourrage students who picked Git more or less at random. If I read https://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/ProgramStatistics correctly, the average number of slots per organization is closer to 10 than 2, hence students have better chance to get accepted in other organizations.

OTOH, 2 slots is not so much worse than the 3 we had last year. And now that Dscho is volunteer to mentor a GSoC too, we may actually end up accepting 3 students.

So, sending this in case other people think it's a good idea, but I
won't fight for it in case you don't think it is.

+## Note about the number of slots

+In 2015, the Git organization has very limited mentoring capacity.
+We will probably be able to accept 2 students only this year.
