It seems that we now have only the 2 projects I proposed and only 1 signed-up mentor (me).

It looks like Jonathan and Emily are reaching out to the Wireshark community to find a co-mentor which is great! So we might have another project and the associated mentors soon.

Outreachy organizers have extended the mentor project submission deadline though. The new deadline is Sept. 29, 2020 at 4pm UTC. They also say that this deadline is a hard deadline, as the contribution period opens October 1, and they cannot add new projects after that date.

Sure. By the way if you are interested in mentoring or co-mentoring, then signing-up is not definitive, you can always decide not to mentor at all later for any reason as long as an intern has not been selected yet. (Intern selection deadline is Nov. 9, 2020.)
