WMF is made up of individuals. If there's something that you think should be done, why not figure out which team it would normally fall under, and politely suggest it to the people on the team that they should make it a priority (If it doesn't fall under any team - lets be realistic, it probably won't be done)
They're either going to say yes or they're going to say no. The better reasoned your argument for why its important, the more likely they are going to say yes.
That said, gsoc/opw usually doesn't reflect Wikimedia community priorities all that much (imo).

Hi Quim,
For projects that don't move forward in Outreachy for any reason, is there a way of suggesting that the particularly useful open projects get WMF dev time next quarter? It would be nice if there is a way to incorporate community priorities into quarterly department goal setting.

A new round of Outreachy is about to start and we need mentors for projects.

Mentors go first, because we haven't many confirmed for this round, and we have already many possible project ideas:

Still, if you want to volunteer as mentor for a new project, the gates are also wide open for you.
There are already several candidates looking for a project and asking for microtasks to show their skills.
Questions? Just ask, here or at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112620
