I'm willing to step up as a student for this but I still have to write
a good proposal for it.
My actual concern is about mentor availability, is someone around
interested on being an IDLE mentor ?


You might want to talk to Bruce Sherwood, as VPython suffered through
a bunch of Idle problems.  I got the impression he had a person or two
who were his Idle experts (so I am thinking they might be the mentors
you are looking for).  In any case, even a charter of "unit tests to 50%
coverage" of Idle would be a huge improvement.

I've run after specific bugs in Idle, but don't really know the lay of
the land.
