I would suggest not speculating on biased or malicious intentions. It is 
possible that no one applied with a proposal to work on Dabo, or that 
such a proposal was poorly written, or that the author had too little 
experience, or any number of other things.

(Disclosure: I am now a co-mentor on an unrelated SoC project, but I 
wasn't part of the group rating and selecting proposals.)
