If a GSOC student correctly implements
split editors, I think they deserve a hoodie :)

I guess a metric like bug with highest
votes is a bit more balanced.

Just a thought. Let me know if you think it's a bad one.

I can identify some sort of prize (something along the lines of a shirt
or hoodie) to give to the student (and mentor?) who manages to fix the
oldest standing bug. I realize that this puts the Eclipse project at particular
advantage. Are there any other--perhaps less project-biased--"make
it more interesting" opportunities that you can think of?

FWIW, I recently had a student intern provide a fix that ended up closing
a four-digit bug. That was a cool moment.
