Aalekh, thank you for taking the initiative of pushing a bug report as a
potential GSoC project.

You dont need it to be featured for it to be your

that various people think its a good project and there are two people
willing to mentor. Getting a project featured is usually more a concern of
mentors who are trying to attract a student, rather than the student.
Still, we don't want to send newcomers to dead ends.
This proposal is listed under Raw projects at

We are in fact discussing how appropriate it is to feature it but, as
you can see at

Mark (MultimediaViewer maintainer) thinks that it might have significant
overlap with the work they are planning to do this year.
Considering the GSoC deadlines, if there is no progress this week
between Mark, Dereckson and others, I'd recommend you to put your bets
in another project.
