Project allocations happen through the GSoC process so everyone should
apply and then you interview the prospective candidates and choose the
best one.

For realtime questions (keeping in mind TZ's and working hours) IRC is
the best way. You can connect via matrix as described here:

  https://www.qemu.org/support/

as not everyone has access to a persistent IRC bouncer. Otherwise deeper
technical questions are best handled on qemu-devel where the thread can
be followed by the whole community.
