As Tekk already pointed out in his reply to the bug-hurd mailing list:
»It generally helps if you specify a project that you're interested in
working on. There's a list of gsoc projects on the hurd site.«

Given your proficiency with the Linux kernel, you surely must be having
some specific areas of interest, which you'd like to work on during a GNU
Hurd project?

Generally, given you present a reasonable application that states what
you'd like to work on, why, and you give some reasonable schedule
estimates, we'd consider that an acceptable proposal.
