I have collected all your PRs under the GitHub project
https://github.com/boostorg/gil/projects/7

By the way, everyone interested is encouraged to have a look at our
GSoC PRs, post comments, ask questions.

The docs is one of the major areas where GIL is lacking, especially for
new users who feel intimidated by the idea of reading and learning
from the source code.

I think that functionality is not essential, so it was the right move.
