Wonderful idea, please add it to the GSoC 2020 ideas page if you haven't
done so.

The proposal deadline for this round has passed, so we can't do that right
now. If we still have work to do in this area ( I believe we will) when the
next round comes around, I will be happy to help in forming the proposal. I
will soon publish a blog post with the relevant deadlines for both program.

I believe this is a great initiative. Thanks for bringing this up.
