Sorry you missed us on IRC! It's off-season for gsoc right now, so many
mentors are enjoying the time off (and some are preparing for gci!) so
responses will be slow.

I hope you already found it, but the scikit learn mailing list is here,
and they're the folk to ask for more information about scikit-learn
tasks and ideas!

Do remember that you're months early for gsoc and most orgs won't be
talking seriously about project ideas until January, but you can get
involved as a volunteer anytime, so hopefully you can find a good way to
get started even now.
I've also cc'ed Manoj, the sub-org admin for scikit-learn in 2016, in
case you haven't already gotten in touch with him.
