Dealing with the init scripts / service enable / disable mess. See current
d-devel discussion.
As much a discussion / social skills project as a coding project, so I'm not
sure if GSoC is the right place.
Or do it as a pure coding project, implement a proper set of tools, but then
it's a question if it will be adopted into Debian in the end, which would
mean wasted effort.
(And please don't start discussion of the actual problem here, there's the
other thread for this...)

What about a project which prepares a migration to
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd ?

What about a project to port systemd to kfreebsd ?

That is unlikely to be useful, upstream has explicitly said they are
targeting Linux only.

More precisely[1]:
"Will this run on [insert non-Linux OS here]?
Unlikely. As pointed out, systemd uses many Linux specific
APIs […] That said, git supports branches and rebasing quite
well, in case people really want to do a port.
[…]
If folks want to implement something similar for other
operating systems, the preferred mode of cooperation is
probably that we help you identify which interfaces can be
shared with your system, to make life easier for daemon
writers to support both systemd and your systemd counterpart.
Probably, the focus should be to share interfaces, not code."
So upstream does seem to be interested in cooperating with developers
for other platforms, though not in maintaining the resulting code.
For what it's worth.

Beside the merits of this specific proposals, please don't throw GSoC
project ideas to this list as they'll be forgotten for sure. Rather,
please check the proposal template [1] and drop a mail to the
soc-coordination list [2]. That's the best way to ensure that proposal
won't be overlooked by the admins.

Then it might be worth to have a project to identify these interfaces
and write some code to support systemd-aware daemons on (k)freebsd. For
systemd it definitely makes sense to use all the fancy linux APIs - but
it should still be possible to write a proper replacement for freebsd.
