Given that pywikibot is heavily designed around using wikitext , and all existing 'add notice to talk page' in scripts is using wikitext, I think this project has a higher chance of avoiding bikeshedding and -2's in code review if it focuses on implementing (only) wikitext support first.
We know what property and methods look like for wikitext, and how they should behave in corner cases. Also script writers are mostly going to prefer to interact with wikitext, as that is what they are most comfortable with. We need to make their transition from Discussion wikitext pages to 'Flow things' as simple as possible.
The design should still emcompass html support, and should put an implementation for it up for review. Semantics around two different/alternative content formats is going to be one of the interesting problems to solve.

Pywikibot should be able to interface with wikitext-only Flow instances.
Maybe, if we don't drop Parsoid support. However, I don't consider this a hard requirement for the summer GSOC.
Is there a phab task about dropping Parsoid support?
