By itself that's not enough for a GSoC project.

It's possible to come up with an interesting proposal in this area I think.
An issue may be that the FFT code in numpy and scipy isn't very actively
worked on at the moment, so finding a suitable mentor could be tricky.

The overlap is mostly due to historical reasons. The long-term plan is to
remove duplicate functions from scipy.linalg.
