Hey,

I'd be happy to mentor someone working on the Guix Data Service.

I'm personally interested in using the Guix Data Service for reviewing
patches, but I think there are too many unknowns regarding this
currently.

One idea I have which I think would make a good project would be to
fully internationalise the application. There's some initial support for
internationalisation now, but there's plenty to do regarding this,
across different areas, like loading in translated strings, and
supporting translations for the web interface itself.
