I think that's a great project idea -- nice and contained with an obvious goal. I'd be happy to help out with that, as I probably know as much about the new backend interfaces as anyone.
I am also willing to mentor the project I volunteered for last year (the student dropped out in the eleventh hour). That was to extract the math expression rendering engine out as a separate project. It's hairier than it sounds, because it requires separating out the freetype wrappers as well, and parts of all the backends. But this is something the Sympy and Sage folks were very interested in last year as well.
