Thank you for your interest in helping Eclipse!

I think you meant to email Dariusz privately instead of emailing the egit-dev mailing list.

I am not sure if Dariusz is planning to participate this year (I think he is out of school now). Regardless of whether he is participating or not, multiple students _can_ contribute to the same project at Eclipse. The _scope_ of the individual students' work should however not overlap (or only overlap in small ways). If we believe there is an issue, we will consider it on a case-by-case basis.
Once again, thank you for your interest in contributing to Eclipse!
Regards,
Remy
