possibly. I'm reaching out for another mentor, but I can't confirm anything yet.

Is it a hard requirement?

While I don't think its one for GSoC, they do recommend strongly to have multiple mentors and we like to try and enforce two people. It is common that one mentor can be busy and it is very useful for a student to have someone else to fall back on.

It is absolutely a hard requirement. If you cannot convince 1-2 other people from the project to co-mentor this idea; then I'm afraid we won't run it.

quick question for reviewers: is there any action I need to take, other than this submission, to apply as a candidate mentor ?

No. if/when we get selected for GSoC, we will need to invite you to the org on the GSoC website. That's basically it.
