First off, thanks everyone for all help so far! I end up creating two proposals:
* Tracker integration for Banshee
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2011/topfs2_tobias_arrskog/1

I talked briefly with Bertrand at the hackfest about this and it sounds like Tracker might not be a natural fit for Banshee's current feature set. I would personally love to see it happen but it sounds like you might want to ask for elaboration on the specifics of the problems with Tracker in Banshee.

* uPnP client / server for Banshee
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2011/topfs2_tobias_arrskog/1001#

I know this one is high on the wishlist from the Ubuntu people as it is a regression from Rhythmbox for them.

 

Personally I'm in favor for the former but I realize it is a bit leap
of faith as the usefulness of that proposal will only really show when
other projects also start using Tracker. I have talked to phako of
Rygel who said that a Tracker based backend for Rygel would be
interesting alas making that project having worth for the uPnP server
at some point.

The Tracker proposal interests me, I would be most willing to do ongoing testing and QA.
