@qgil, why do you say this would only make sense when applied to Wikimedia wikis? Is there something that would prevent, for example, Wikia wikis from using it to create an update backlog list?
I guess what I wanted to say is that this project makes sense if there is some guarantee that a successful delivery will end up being used in any significant wiki out there. Otherwise the expectations should be clearly set. Think that many students believe that because this is Wikimedia, successful GSoC projects will be deployed to (English) Wikipedia.
Also, I just saw in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Accuracy_review that you are proposing basically a parallel application process for interested students. GSoC has its own form, and we are asking them to duplicate it in Phabricator tasks (was in mediawiki.org pages). We cannot ask them to have a third channel proposed by mentors.
