These are good ideas. You can add them to the wiki if you want. (It's a wiki, after all.) Also, student applicants aren't limited to the ideas that are already on the wiki, and can apply to do part of an idea, or several ideas combined.
A change like native threading might be too big a project for the summer, though; it would require several changes to the runtime (the garbage collector would need somewhat of a re-design, even if collection itself is single-threaded, for example) and to the libraries (all data structures would have to be made thread-safe, and we wouldn't accept a performance regression on single-threaded code).
