You can do it if you want, but this would be a very small
contribution. This would be Ok for a microproject, but you have
already worked on one, so you should probably aim at something a bit
more complex. See the "Only ONE quality focused microproject per
applicant" section in
https://git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information/.

By the way, please put your possible mentors (Hariom and me) in Cc.

Thanks,
Christian.
