I copied and pasted the Ragel proposal from this email:

| Ragel http://www.complang.org/ragel/ is a tool that integrates regular
| expressions and state machines under one umbrella.
| It has backends currently for C, C++, Objective-C, D, Java and Ruby. 
| I do not think having an elisp backend would be a very big task.
| 
| After that (in my estimate) org-mode code would (could) become half as
| long and twice as fast -- at least those sections that are heavily
| regex oriented
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------

to the GSoC ideas page, and added (a bit deliberately) the author of the
email and Bastien (Guerry) as potential mentors for the project idea -
just assuming they might be interested in mentoring. But I did not
confirm with neither of them!

I would therefore suggest that you contact them to find out who might
actually be the mentor for your project.
