Re: GSoC page under /developer is out of date

The GSoC page which is linked to from /developer is wildly out of date, as it
refers to the 2018 GSoC program. Rather than trying to fix that, maybe we
should just link directly to the main GSoC wiki entry [0] as that seems to be
where the information is maintained? The /developer/summerofcode/ page could
then 308 redirect to the same to handle any bookmarks etc.

Or does anyone feel like resurrecting it and keeping it alive?

Hearing no objections, done that way for now to fix the stale link.

Picking this up again after a discussion on Telegram:

The page /developer/summerofcode/ is outdated, and
lists only the 2018 GSoC. Google removes old GSoC projecs, so we don't have
a chance to find mentors and projects for previous years (short of everyone
looking into their mailboxes).

My vote is to remove the entire page.

The alternative is gathering the data for other years from every mentor.

Regards,

Stefanie Janine Stölting volunteered off-list to do this (well, she found the
info in another way) and backfill our site with the missing information.
