It is probably premature for this cycle. But once we have unit testing framework[1] in, I expect that moving tests from t/helper/test-foo.c + a sh test to invoke test-foo over to using the unit testing framework could be a tidy project for GSOC/Outreachy. Especially if we can have an example migration to refer to, which Siddharth from Google is working on in his 20% time just now :)
