I think this is a really good point. Along those lines; wouldn't/couldn't bugzilla accommodate this well? either gsoc.freebsd.org with an equivalent freebsd.org/gsoc, or probably better; a GSOC category within the current PR setup. bugzilla provides for ongoing dialog, code, and it would be fairly easy to determine/review "final status" of the code/project.
