I would like to point everyone to this reply from Jeff King on the
original post: [1]
(In case this was lost in the midst of other emails) It sounds like
Jeff King is okay
with taking up the "admin" role.

    I do not mind doing the administrative stuff.  But the real work is in
    polishing up the ideas list and microprojects page. So I think the first
    step, if people are interested in GSoC, is not just to say "yes, let's
    do it", but to actually flesh out these pages:
