The fact that there is no clear plan is part of the plan. The idea is that how much can be converted depends highly on how the GSoC goes. You already saw with your microproject that something apparently easy can be harder than it seems.

See this thread for a discussion on the topic:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/264050/focus=21366

Now, it's up to you to make a good proposal, i.e. both convince people that you can do a good job, and OTOH be realistic about what can be done in a GSoC.
