Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

I still don't think that participation of any free project in the #GSoC is a Good Idea. After all this is a cheap recruitment opportunity for the #GAFAM and drains the source of #freesoftware hackers for all non-monopolists. YMMV
Many KDE recruits have gone on to become valued KDE developers. Aleix Pol, current president of KDE, for example. Aleix started out developing KALgebra, but then went on to do a GSoC in which he worked on Kdevelop. Never worked for Google.
