Hello Muskan, "We're still going to be strict with what we accept - you'll need to provide a *strong use case* for your idea and show that it would be *useful to a majority of developers* or *significantly improve* the development of Django itself."
This is from the wiki page <https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SummerOfCode2021> for GSoC 2021. So I believe you could submit a GSoC proposal for UI/UX but your proposal would need to greatly impact a sizable amount of developers. As for UI/UX fixes, I believe the process is the same as normal tickets: you submit a ticket on the issue tracker, people review it and establish consensus, and then you submit a patch following said consensus. If you're looking to get feedback on your proposal, submit it on the forums <https://forum.djangoproject.com/> under Mentorship. Plenty of people will take a look at it and will help you get on the right track.
