This will get you started on contributing to GNU in general: https://www.gnu.org/help/help.en.html . Your advisor should be the be to judge what the appropriate level of work would be. I would not assume US levels would apply and even within US it varies by school and degree options. I don't have any actual information on this, but I would guess that there is not much work being done on the C code for emacs, mostly on the elisp code. There is a parallel email/news group for those developing emacs. They would be the authorities. They may be a good source of ideas for projects you could do. If you can get some idea of the appropriate level of effort for the project, that will improve the ideas. Effort could be lines of code or the amount of time expected to complete the work.
