I could act as a coordinator to check that things are ok for student(s) and mentor(s), and raise problems on the mailing list or with Bram if needed. However, while I have done some very minor fiddling with Vim's source, I would not be suitable as a mentor.
Mentors do not need to register with Google, but they do need to be able to respond to queries from the student, and do a review of the work. Our application for GSOC2012 was not accepted, probably because the ideas page was too much like a bug list: the GSOC docs say bug lists are not acceptable. From memory, Google want to see an interesting ideas page that gives an impression that the student will do something worthwhile and will be looked after. http://www.vim.org/soc/ideas.php An anonymous user created these pages in March 2011: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_GSoC_Application_Template http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_GSoC_2011_Ideas If anyone wanted, the above could be used to draft ideas (don't worry about it saying "2011"; we'll rename it if necessary). However, the final ideas page should be at vim.org as above.
