Hi Kai, Thanks for writing this! I would love to be a mentor for GSoC if it falls within my expertise.
As a reminder to the whole community & PMC - it is *not* too late to propose new ideas. The initial phase of collecting ideas has resulting in the ASF being accepted as a mentoring organization. The next step is the student application and review. Personally, I would love to see work on SQL - GSoC scope could be trying to scale up some examples on different runners to do some optimization, or implementing new join algorithms and/or using Calcite's rule system to select the right one. I will see about writing these up more clearly.
