No idea whether someone really is working on a Lilypond project, but
there's this deadline...

>       EssentialSlots: N
>       DesiredSlots: M
>     
>     Where N and M are the number of slots required and desired.

>     Roughly speaking, essential slots are for great projects you couldn't
>     live without while desired slots are the number of slots you would like
>     to have if Google had an infinite number of them.  For example, imagine

>       EssentialSlots: 1
>       DesiredSlots: 2

>     An important note: as we did in the previous editions of GSoC, we will

>     - If GNUDesiredSlots <= G everyone gets what they asked for.
>     
>     - If GNUEssentialSlots <= G < GNUDesiredSlots, everyone gets their
>       essential slots, at least 1, but we would need to discuss and decide
>       how to distribute the desired slots.

>     IMPORTANT: please respect the milestone!  If a participating GNU project
>     fails to send the email before Saturday 11 April 12:00, we may request
>     either Essential=1,Desired=1 or Essential=0,Desired=0 for that project,
