Hi Pradyun, that would be an awesome GSoC project. Note that this is a
general GSoC list, what you want to do is to propose your project on the
distutils-sig mailing list and ask for feedback and if anyone is willing to
mentor you. If you find a mentor, it requires pip as a project to sign up
for GSoC under the PSF umbrella (which it has never done before AFAIK).

Cheers,
Ralf
