The problem with these projects is that the mentor who proposed them is currently silent, and the Commons community didn't weigh in when I asked. This is why we didn't list them under Featured prpojects ideas at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects
Being new in the community I recommend you to go for a safer bet, for a project with a mentor available and a community explicitly engaged.

This extension is maintained by Mozilla and we are discussing with them whether to make this a featured GSOC / OPW project or not. We are waiting for an answer from them.

This idea welcomes student projects, yes.
Another student showed an interest in this project (among other) this weekend in this list. See my answer at http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2013-March/040922.html
I have installed mediawiki on my LAMP server. I have also cloned Mozilla bugzilla to the github.
Good! This reminds me that we should advertise Labs, where you can get your own instance to experiment and test your MediaWiki projects.

PS: let's use wikitech-l for discussing GSOC / OPW projects, as recommended at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Where_to... . All potential mentors are subscribed there.
