If you're OK with a non-math project, a good place to get started would
be to merge the gdb-heap project[1] into glibc as a pretty-printer for
malloc and then adding more pretty-printers to glibc. I don't mind
mentoring you for it. However, I don't know if we are actually part of
the GSoC project or if any maintainer can become a mentor or if it has
to be from a named set of people.
