Having harder and more ambitious ones in the mix is OK, but I suspect this one is probably a bit too ambitious to be realistic for a student project that lasts only 3 months.

This proposal is about a change that touches core parts of the system that has the chance of inflicting permanent damage to end users' histories. I'd have a hard time reviewing and convincing myself that the change is good, if such a change were done by somebody new to the system, even if the work were mentored very closely by one of our top 15 committers.
