Since I'm quite new on the list, I have pondered a few days if this is meant to be a joke.

In case it is not: It seems to me the task is not downright horrible, but rather has to do with inserting if-statements linked to properties in the right place in the code. If I were asked to do this in my Nasal code, it would be a matter of 30 minutes or so to modify and test. Probably not worth forming a mentoring team to let someone else do that. It also seems to me that 14 months is a long time for the Flightgear development pace. More specifically, I don't know yet if I want to be a long-term contributor or if I want to develop and deliver a working weather system and then do something completely different - that has a lot to do with what time to code my private life provides, and I'm not too hopeful that it increases. So there's a real chance I won't be doing that work in 14 months from now. So, no, it doesn't seem like a good idea to me to wait14 months.
