It's a nice idea for a Summer of Code. But I cannot mentor it, because
  - the mentor should IMO be someone familiar with the project's source code,
    often the maintainer - and I'm merely a user,
  - it was said on gnu-prog-discuss that the mentor should be highly reactive,
    which is unfortunately not the case for me.
