A Gentoo developer that is also a Gnome developer that wants to mentor a project to better integrate Gentoo and Gnome (in some way) would be appropriate. Just like the proposed Java-related projects are appropriate - facilitating a better Gentoo/Java experience.
Paludis is a tool used for working with the Gentoo Portage tree - there is no problem with it being part of a Gentoo Google Summer of Code project as it will benefit the Gentoo project and its users.

You've got that backwards. This is a potential SoC student who wants to *give* something to Gentoo (and Paludis). No one is leeching anything.
