The Google summer of code (GSOC) is start from a project tasks. As a mentor, you need to help the student know better about the task and the project, answer the questions about the task.
If you have some tasks in mind but you don't have enough time to implement them, it could be a good opportunity to participate GSOC as a mentor. Normally it will take you 4~8 hours a week to help the student remotely from June to August. Please don't be panic about that, as this time could be break down to daily work, you just need to spend 0.5~1 hours to help the student to do the design and implementation work. The GSOC mentor of Apache is opened for application before 26th March. You can create the JIRA tasks with the tag "gsoc2019" and wait for the student to apply it. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. BTW, I just signed as Apache Camel Mentor here are some tasks[1] that you can take them as example.
