I've submitted my proposal through Google's dashboard for "Nix Internals: Use std::filesystem::path for Path". Please review and let me know if you'd like more information put into the proposal.
Thanks

I am intending on submitting a proposal not on the existing ideas list, since it is something I am personally interested in,
As a bit of a spot check, just wanted to kinda throw the idea out there to see what people thought

I want to work on updating and improving the infrastructure for the Xen hypervisor in Nixpkgs, with the main project being a Xen distribution based on NixOS, with pre-made configurable modules to create a minimal and declarative dom0.
This would require maintaining/updating the Xen packages themselves, updating the modules already in Nixpkgs (supporting UEFI being one of the primary issues), as well as working out how best to pre-configure Xen and NixOS to work well together.
(A working name for the 'distribution' itself is XenNix)

That said, is there a list of possible mentors (outside of the potential mentors on the ideas list), or is anyone with sufficient experience who fits the hard requirements allowed, given that they submit a PR to apply?

At the moment no, since I don't know that many people around here currently. Ideally a mentor will fall out of the sky, however given that that is unlikely, I am/will be going through the existing potential-mentors and seeing if anyone has worked on similar stuff and would be a good fit to ask.
