Do you need a mentor? :)
No, seriously, this is really a great idea for a GSoC project and I 
would be available as a co-mentor. The project description is nice, 
great work!

What I would suggest is to make the first paragraph less technical and 
start with the features that are expected and what the workflow could be 
from the user perspective. Also we should mention the existing Mapillary 
integration in iD.
