These are all good things to mention.  Thanks.

It is helpful that Shashank announced early their intention to work on this. Especially during the busy preparation season for mentoring programs, it is a good practice to allow other candidates avoid working on the same microproject.

It is not strictly necessary to prevent multiple candidates from working on essentially the same microproject, provided they do so independently. The "graduation" criterion for a microproject is not whether a finalized patch lands in my tree. It is more about helping candidate mentees get used to the process of making it happen.

Enjoy the journey.
