I'll gladly spend some time on preparing the proposal.

They suggest it turns out to be more like 5 hrs/week, although i think
it's about the case when the student is completely new to the project.
We can set prerequisites like C++, git and music (notation) knowledge,
so that we won't have to mentor people about this (takes a lot of
time).
Also, we have a nice CG, it's possible that it'll cut mentoring time
substantially.

In the FAQ Google explicitly says that people familiar with the
project can participate.
