In regards to your proposal feel free to join our Zulip server https://gcc-rust.zulipchat.com/ and it can be discussed with the community. As for the Google Summer of Code timeline, I would have to defer to their rules. Maybe others here know better in this mailing list but as far as I know, to complete the google summer of code there are dated milestones of review so this might break the rules if you have exams and are unable to allocate the time towards it. Hope this helps, I hope it works out for you.
