I would add:
- who is available to mentor it full time?

In this case, as Arunmozhi pointed out, the project involves a number
of important decisions that can't be taken by the student alone.
Moreover, we need to ensure timely answers, to allow a steady developing
pace.

As it is a very interesting and much needed feature, I believe that the
student deserves appropriate support.

Arumozhi, I suggest you to also work on a backup idea, on other
QGIS/OSGeo projects. Let us know if you need guidance!

Best,

Anne
