To the students and mentors: congrats. GSoC is a great program and a great way to get involved in the industry. I hope you had an amazing experience.
Not to take away from them, but the first sentence of this official Rust post kinda stunned me: "the Rust Project participated in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) for the first time this year". There may be an interpretation of this sentence that is true, but multiple students have worked on Rust GSoC projects under Mozilla (which at the time ran the Rust Project), and quite a few worked on Rust GSoC projects under other organizations.
At the least, Michael Woerister worked on debuginfo in 2013, and Igor Matuszewski on the RLS in 2017. [1] [2]
Please Rust Project do better at remembering your history.
