First, you should send your e-mails regarding the BRL-CAD development to
the developer mailing list (and subscribe yourself to this list). This way
all potential mentors can read it and may give valuable information. I
replied to the developer mailing list, so the first step is already done.
You should start making yourself familiar with BRL-CAD: Download the
sources, compile the programs, go through the mged tutorial, etc.. When
you have done so you should take a closer look at programming BRL-CAD and
the requirements of the project you mentioned. This means writing patches
and reading and understanding the mathematical background of vector
drawings from NURBS (see http://brlcad.org/wiki/Vector_Drawings_from_NURBS
for getting started). Then write an awesome proposal for your project.
Have a look at our GSoC checklist too:

Daniel
