From my point of view it's pretty simple: I don't see us generating enough 
interest among people not yet associated with Gentoo to successfully 
participate.

Your idea would be fine with me if we had enough people wanting to do it 
but I don't really see that happen.

Because as a student people usually need the money more.

People who already left school hopefully have a job to pay their bills. If 
not, GSoC won't help much either as you stated correctly.
