Yes. Since you know Haddock well and care about the project you should
definitely sign up. The student application deadline is today at 19:00
UTC. I think mentors can still join after that deadline (if I read the
SoC timeline correctly) but I suggest signing up as a mentor today.
During the next few weeks the mentors will decide which projects will
get accepted and who will mentor them.
