Leslie told me some time ago that an important factor is also: "How well did 
those projects do in the past?", operationalised:

- Was there enough communication about the progress of those projects?
- How many projects did succeed in the end?
- How well did the participants and mentors communicate to the outside world?

Those points should be taken into account during this year's SoC. And most of 
them boil down to blogging often and having those blogs aggregated on the 
right channels. (Is there a GSoC Planet? PlanetKDE for sure ...)
