Atul, one of the fun projects that has been sitting on my backburner is to implement errors and warnings localization for the Web API. The project would involve some planning, figuring out translation framework, and later - converting all API modules and extensions to use it. As a result, all clients, including mobile, will be able to report errors to the users in their native language. I am not sure how GSOC supervision functions, but I will definitely be involved with the implementation.
This is slightly bigger than a bug fix, but should be fairly independent from everything and will give you good exposure into internals as well as javascript and other clients.
