I think the work needed to get gitweb-caching actually merged upstream is going to be a slight bit messier than I'm willing to put a student through, and couple that with the fact I'm going to be herding 2 or 3 students for kernel.org as already, I won't have enough time to try and mentor a student through that quagmire. Should a student be interested in the graphing stuff for gitweb, I'm happy to make commentary and review things as they come, but that's at best a co-mentor from me.
