Accessibility would be an excellent candidate. I suggest to find a University that is interested to work on that and work together with them to define a proposal. See for example http://dot.kde.org/1161821085/ on how KDE is part of the SQO-OSS project. Adriaan can surely tell you more of what they did to get that set up and funded.
