GSSoC'26 contributor announcements

[Abhash-Chakraborty]

Welcome to Find for GSSoC'26.

This thread is for maintainer announcements: issue batches, review timelines, important setup changes, freezes, and contributor reminders.

Current starting points:

• Read README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and GSSOC_CONTRIBUTOR_GUIDE.md.
• Pick issues labeled status: available, gssoc26, and the right level.
• Comment on an issue and wait for assignment before opening a PR.

Maintainers can add program updates here so contributors have one reliable place to check.
