Django does have a testing framework that's based on the unittest module from Python standard library. That stated, I've seen people use nose and other frameworks in the past. (More info at: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/testing/)
I feel there is always a need for better helper utilities to make writing tests so easy that people have no excuse NOT to write them. That stated, the GSoC's that have been accepted in the past have been very specific about what they are proposing and milestones as to what will be done and when. There is no time in schedule to discover or define the scope. Obviously, there will always be issues that come up and changes are inevitable, but Django has a limited number of slots and wants to choose projects that not only provide good benefits to the project but are likely to succeed as well, Hopefully this is helpful. You may be on the right track, but you'll have to not only sell on what you will do but that you're the correct person to do it and you understand the scope.
