Thanks for showing interest in strace GSoC projects.

We have some ideas for microprojects, see
https://sourceforge.net/p/strace/wiki/Microprojects/

Finding a bug in strace is not an easy thing nowadays, they are
non-trivial feature requests rather than regular bugs, see e.g.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035433

Said that, I must admit that I've identified a bug recently that is not
fixed yet:

$ strace -velstat stat .>/dev/null
lstat("stat.sample", {st_dev=makedev(0, 23), st_ino=3275291975, st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_nlink=2, st_uid=1000, st_gid=1000, st_blksize=4096, st_blocks=0, st_size=1024, st_atime=1969-12-31T20:59:17+0000.000000135, st_mtime=1969-12-31T20:59:19+0000.000000246, st_ctime=2017-02-26T20:46:48+0000.846195354}) = 0

It was discussed a bit on the irc channel among other things, you can find
the transcript at https://strace.io/logs/strace/2017-02-26
