Hi, I was at the mentor summit as well, but did not have the chance to talk to the graphics project mentors.
As the deadline is approaching I just want to say: Yes, everyone please feel free to apply as the time is probably not enough to coordinate. Maybe some of the administrators or mentors of the Gimp/Inkscape/Blender GSoC projects are one the list and are interested to propose a project docsprint. There is time to make a more detailed plan after the deadline. For now it is important to show interest. Even though it would be best to have a clear plan, the discussion what is best suited and what people are interested in can also continue afterwards. On the website it is stated: "Free software projects of any sort can also apply - they do not need to be GSoC 2012 projects although these may be given preference." You can also apply as an individual. It might be a good idea in any way to have people of the community applying as it might result in more documentation support by Google in future as well. Here the link again: https://sites.google.com/site/docsprintsummitv2/home You might get travel support, if you apply for it.
