As one of the admin last year, and also as a mentor which had has his student a Debian contributor (which indeed led to an unsuccessful project IMO), I fully agree with this "problem" of yours. Also, on a more general basis, I (now) agree that the principle should be "let's use GSoC for attracting new contributors, not to pay who is already a contributor". > (1) Forbid DDs and people in the NM process waiting for FD/DAM to apply > as students.
