Hello Aditya, and welcome!

We're still trying to get enough mentors to get some CPython stuff set 
up, but while you're waiting for an official ideas list, you might want 
to take a look the python mentors website:

http://pythonmentors.com/

The path to being a new cpython dev and the path to being a new GSoC 
student are thankfully pretty similar.

Also, I've cc'ed Kushal Das, our newest org admin who's going to be 
helping coordinate the CPython projects, just so you know whose posts to 
watch for!
