I have 1 merged PR along with 9 PR raised out of which 8 of them are closed. You will be issued a timeout from raising PR’s against the Django repository.- the reviewer commented this yesterday on my PR so I want to know that will it hamper my selection process in GSoC and how many days do we have to submit the proposal and at maximum how much proposals we can submit?

You can submit proposal any time before 31 march mentioned in gsco official timeline, mentors only starts to review your proposal after that but you can always edit your proposal before 31 march anytime and also on the 9 pr don’t try to spam PRs it will only make maintainers and mentors annoying without knowing what the AI is generating it will only lowers your chances
so if I only mention my PR gets merged then will it increase my chances and write the proposal following django guidelines and mention all the technical details which will be done in the project then will it increase my chances?
You have to mention the pr no you merged to be accepted but with the pr no they will know it’s you that got banned for using AI I’m only saying don’t try to PR farm with AI
We recommend that everyone gets started by reading:
- Looking to get involved? Start here!
- For more information about GSoC, See SummerOfCode2026 – Django
- Also read the blog post at Getting Started Contributing to Django · Better Simple (Among all the other useful information, there’s specifically a section with resources on finding appropriate tickets.)
I would also add Give Django your time and money, not your tokens · Better Simple to this list when deciding where and when (and if!) to use AI when preparing a Ticket / PR.
Feel free to ask questions here if there’s anything in those references that you don’t understand or if you get stuck.
so where do we have to make the proposal in MS Word, Google Docs etc. and then convert and submit it as pdf or any other process?
