This is a good news. If this can actually happen there is no problem for student "clustering" on certain proposals. I think this is good for git. Take the "Designing a faster index format" as an example, students comes with different formats. Perhaps they may work better in various cases. This gives more options to git. And more chance for students to get involved for sure.
