You are basically holding the hand of the GSoC student and are their
technical go-to person during the project.

Our experience with how painful it is varies. Last year our project had
a pretty good list of students. The pain level really depends on a few
things - how difficult/complex is the project you're mentoring, how
familiar are you with the topic and the technology involved and - most
importantly - how self-reliant is your student.

We've had a lot of great students capable of working largely on their
own and that makes the process not suck so bad.

Plus, you get US$500 from Google.
