I want to participate in GSoC 2025 for Plone. I have read the Plone Google Summer of Code guidelines, which state that "contributing on GitHub will prevent you from being selected to participate in GSoC."
Is this a strict rule, or is it meant as a precaution to discourage new contributors from submitting random PRs? I already have a few PRs merged (and some open) in multiple Plone repositories. Will my contributions disqualify me from participating in GSoC?
