 I would think this is a separate project from the maintenance window
 change proper.

IF the OP want's the project to be considered, he needs to submit an 
application TODAY.  (Read that as I don't see an application in yet)

[HACKERS] GSoC's possible project

I'm a student and I'm planning to submit a project for Google Summer of
Code.  I would like to receive feedback about to implement the vacumm
scheduling in order to allow maintenance's windows.

taken in January.  Alvaro Herrera suggested two improvements,

Which is not clear to me (yet), if it would required collecting enough
information through implementing a sort of 'VACUUM SUMMARY'[3].

I would like to receive opinions or suggestions about picking this task.

I haven't explained in more detail what is this scheduling, because I
think, it was clear enough, as far as I understood, in the thread.

Thanks in advance,
