Hey, that's me! I'm happy to help with any kind of blog or syndication task like this, but I don't think you'll need a whole project and mentor just for that. I've written a bunch of utilities like the one you describe. It's pretty easy to implement a Roller scheduled task that fires periodically, reads the most recent X entries in a tag, forms an email and sends it out. Are those really the complete requirements. What blogs would be included in the newsletter? You could create and designate one blog to be the Labs blog or look for the Labs tag across all blogs.
