The idea presented in the GSOC page[1] refers to backends both in and out of
Django; it mentions some of the deep problems of the Oracle backend (which is
in core), and refers you to a list of open tickets.
If you want to include other (that is, non-core) backends in your proposal,
you should probably mail their respective maintainers or communities. The
Django project will support work to improve a third-party backend, but you
will need to secure also the support (and probably co-mentorship) of the third
party.
With respect to more details -- like Russell said[2], part of the GSoC
"audition" process is for you to do some analysis yourself; take the initial
pointers and come up with a concrete workplan.

Actually, between the custom-lookup and -transform work (led by Anssi) that
landed in master recently, and Marc's Postgres project[3], I expect quite a
lot of changes in the GIS backends in the near future; I think, therefore,
that now is not a good time to create a detailed plan of work in that area.
My 2 cents,
Shai.
