chapters to make sure they are prepared for the task.
Sure, these checks are part of the FDC / IEG / any decent grant process.
Business as usual.
Also important:
Tech projects aiming to merge code in an existing project also need to
be in sync with the maintainers and the community. This is why we have a
separation between "Featured project ideas" (ready to be taken) and "Raw

Even the featured project ideas must get a reality check as soon as
someone steps in at a given time for a specific program.
