There's also been at least a couple of cases where people

It would
definitely be an asset though.
I seem to remember someone wanting to work on a library for GSoC and
that he would work on it even if it wasn't accepted. I might remember
wrong, and the person might have left the project.
That was Cristi Cobzarenco, but he then proposed a different project,
linear algebra stuff [1], which he ended up working on because I already
had a more or less working implementation of an units library lying
around: [2].
I posted my project to the NG, and there seemed to actually be two or
three people interested in it, but I didn't submit it to formal review
yet, because it sometimes breaks in interesting ways due to compiler
bugs (issue 3467 [3] and the likes), and I had enough work to do for my
own GSoC project anyway.
