I think it's very much in KDE's interest to allow projects which are not part of KDE but which KDE depends upon to be part of it. This should be done on the judgement of the KDE GSoC admins based on value to KDE and how well the other projects works with us. In many cases it's the same people who are KDE anyway. For example in the past I've had projects for KDE GSoC working on Kubuntu's installer which is valuable to KDE as it lets our software get installed. I'm also interested in mentioning a project porting LibreOffice to a Qt 5 skin, that seems valuable to KDE as it lets this important application work well with our software.
KDE gains a better software ecosystem and more money for the e.V. I also heard a suggestion from Vishesh that projects like Amarok shouldn't be allowed in GSoC because they are not very active. It seems nonsense to block projects from having activity on grounds that they are not very active.
