We are participants in GSOC (Google Summer of Code). We have 1 student
this year. We wanted to improve our mentoring and focus on 1 student.

Also, the student's interests don't always align with the needs of the
community.

We've talked it to death. It's time for someone to do something, IMHO.

Yep. I suggest to anyone who wants to do it that they start a Google Doc
to work out their design ideas. They can share that with the rest of us
who can comment or possibly edit. That at least gives everyone
interested something to talk about. It is better than just the vague
ideas we've been knocking around for 2+ years.
