That is a good point.  And even if we don't think your idea is ideal
for SoC, proposing new ideas can help.  Some applicants have submitted
clever new ideas which I didn't think were a good match for Nmap.  But
they showed so much skill and creativity and research in describing
them, that I talked to the student and agreed to accept them as a
feature creeper or one of the other listed projects.

Actually the ideas page asks applicants to join the SoC list.  We'll
use that for program-specific discussions and reminders until the
final sponsorship choices are made.  Then it will be reduced to just
the sponsored folks.  This is how it happened the last couple of years
too.
