Leif has volunteered to me a GSoC mentor and he's a very good person to help. 
If you file a JIRA ticket at <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS> 
describing your proposal and label it with the "gsoc2012" tag, that will cause 
the Apache organization to process it.

If anyone else out there has a GSoC project in mind, I'd encourage you to do 
the same!
