How to get a SoC proposal immediately rejected

[Dan Kegel]

All you have to do to have your application summarily deleted is
to make it so short that it conveys no information.
Bonus points if you propose implementing something that's already
(somewhat) implemented.
For instance:
  "I will add scanner support to Wine."
or
  "I will implement a sentient computer program."
are both real examples that lasted all of about sixty milliseconds in the queue.

You really know how to make a good joke. Kudos.

Michael C Hearn is interested in this proposal :)

That is, interested in how the hell they planned to implement it!

There's also a couple of proposals that were accepted last year on
