Yes, I can name at least two more ideas suitable for GSoC:
- Reliable multiarch support.  The way how it's implemented now is
  inherently unreliable, parsers for the given personality have to be
  compiled for that personality.
- Comprehensive test suite.  The test suite we have now is far from
  covering all branches of all parsers yet.
