[GSOC] Student Introduction - Reachability bitmap Improvements

Hi, I am Interested in Project - "Reachability bitmap Improvements".

I am Shubham from India, I am a 2021 graduate from Delhi University and currently working as a Software Engineer at Microsoft. I am Open source enthusiastic, I have been contributing to the Open Source projects since a while. I was GSoC 2020 and SoK 2020 Student with KDE, I was Linux Foundation mentee where I contributed to one of Anuket's projects.

I always find myself fascinated by the softwares like linux kernel, git, or simple commands like ping. Which impacts the life of almost every software developer around the globe.

I am going through the blog [1] and I love the technique we are using to fasten the queries. I have still not decided which one idea to pick out of many mentioned under "Reachability bitmap Improvements" but I think I will figure that out soon. Can someone please tell me if a micro-project - "avoid pipes in git related commands in test scripts" mentioned [2] is still available to take? I have also gone through - MyFirstContribution.txt and CodingGuidelines.txt docs and am looking forward to start sending patches :). If any of you think I need to know something more, I will be glad to get your suggestions.
