You can see the new edited proposal here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Mooeypoo/GSOC_2013_Project
Also, since this idea does not appear in the main idea list, I am hoping
there may be a mentor available :)
Good! There is not much time left. Please file a Bugzilla report and
submit your
proposal to the GSoC site:
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013
You are also encouraged to submit the proposal to Outreach Program for
Women. That
requires also a first contribution related with your project
proposal. Any suggestions? I'm no an expert in this area... Maybe something
related with Commons / media types?
Anyway, the idea is that you just continue with the assumption that a
mentor will
appear. Anybody interested?
Thank you and good luck!

That sounds interesting. I may be willing to (co-)mentor if the category
redirect thing falls through.
From your userpage I see you are still waiting to hear
from something else.
I would reccomend still officially submitting your proposal
now, and just
make sure to let us know if you are actually available before we have to
select the proposals.
As for related contrib. Since this is a make a new extension theres not
much related. I would reccomend maybe a resource loader commit as this
project involves lots of js.
