As a general observation, if one or more developers are *actively* working on something, then like you point out, it does not make sense to engage a student (it would be counterproductive). But for areas that are developing at a very slow pace or that are at a stalemate, getting a GSoC student to work on it may make sense.
It's a bit too late to complain anyway... We could have made a dofferent proposal list but not much people stepped in to add proposals to the wiki page. So we get a lot of proposals from things that dodn't make it last year and a few new ideas. We can't enforce the students nor anything else to work on anything... The only step we could explicitly make in this direction is to have Haiku, Inc. hire devs to get work done towards A1. As for every single contrivutor, they'll do what they want (and can - I for one wouldn't try messing with the media things).
