I wrote both of them and I am a student.

I have only added an entry for Emacs at the beginning of last week, I'm
sorry.

IMHO a project needs to be well organized when:
1. the project wants to be involved in the GSoC;
2. there is a lot of students;
From what I've seen, that's not the case for Emacs. As you've pointed
out, Emacs doesn't have an ideas page, and only two students have
expressed themselves after I've told I wanted to participate to the
GSoC. Besides, Emacs doesn't need to be a formal organization because it
is under the GNU umbrella.
