Yes. Thank you for CC'ing me, Erik.

Honestly, I've just started looking into this issue, so I'll wait for someone else to comment on this. As far as interest is concerned, yes- a lot of people seem to be pretty excited about my GSoC project proposal [1]. My proposal has more to do with getting native support working, than building a fantastic SVN importer. I certainly have neither the time or experience to build an SVN importer that's any better than git-svn.perl in the summer term, and I'm clear that I don't intend to do this. However, if my proposal gets accepted, I could work with you to get it integrated into the remote helper that I'll be building. Depending on the complexity of your project, this might only be possible at the end of my GSoC term.
