Among the present ideas, I think I will be best able to help with "Complete and extend the remote-object-info command for git cat-file". I could help with the other projects as well but I think my co-mentor(s) would have to pick up too much slack in that case.

P.S: I did not receive the "mentorship invite" that you talked of earlier.
