As I'm on To: line. (Though I have no special status other than
being last poster), to ensure you get some reply,  My 2c. :

No can stop anyone working; Be a shame though if 2 people work &
one's effort was not used.   I suppose as SoC deadline was yesterday
it'll take a while for google to publish their sponsoring list.

If 2 people develope same thing: whose code will be commited will
I suppose be decided on which arrives first &/or seems best code,
hopefully independent of status of author eg student V. independent.

End of non authoritative 2 cents worth :-)
