Yes, it would be great to have an emulation project idea like this! Please choose exactly which device you'd like them to implement. Interns may not be knowledgeable in the field yet and you actually help by setting limitations. Link to the specific device's datasheet, existing open source driver example, internal QEMU APIs needed to implement this type of device, etc so that it's easy for an applicant to investigate the idea and decide whether or not to apply.
