Question for the organizers: Is there an inactivity timeout on claimed sub-problems? Say someone “claims” a task and then goes quiet, others hold back; but without claims, you risk duplicate effort, right? How do you balance that? If there’s a policy already, what counts as “active”? A short status note, a link to a draft, or partial results? If not, would you consider a lightweight scheme:

Soft claim (one task per person); progress update within 7–14 days (longer for big items); auto-release if no update; extensions on request; Tag some tasks as “pairable” so two people can collaborate openly.

Curious how you’re handling throughput vs inclusion here.
