Since the purpose of a GSoC microproject is to familiarize the candidate with the project's mailing-list workflow and to give the GSoC mentors a feel for how the candidate interacts, perhaps the easiest suggestion would be the old fallback of having the candidate look for a single test script which still uses `test -f` or `test -e` or such, and converting that to use one of the test_path_foo() functions from t/test-lib-functions.sh.
