I think it would be great to have someone work on f-spot and would be happy to mentor anyone that is willing to work on it. However, the only issue I can see with this is that I don't know if f-spot is part of any GSOC group. There was a try to get monkey space/square as an organization, but it was turned down. F-Spot is an app on gnome and if its a project they are willing to support with GSOC, I'd be more than happy to have you work on it.
