GSoC projects are nice for doing focused work on some specific part of the code base. For overhauling just about everything, I'd be a lot more skeptical, especially since there will unavoidably be fallout to deal with afterwards in terms of bugs, and that's less nice to do if the person who did the port isn't available after the summer to do that part of the work.
