I don't think that is what ReactOS needs at it's current state. But 
that's just my opinion.

I have heard that this is one of the hardest part of ReactOS and also 
the cache manager rewrite was already done so far. (However I don't know 
  how much of it will be left after the audit.)

Maybe some kind of device driver, or a file system driver (for example 
Reiser4) although that is told to be hard too.

Another idea of mine would be a web based job system. I think that one 
of the main problems of ReactOS is that we just say: "Here is the 
source, you can choose a part to work on. Have fun !".
I know that we got Bugzilla, but you have to admit that it has not 
really proven to be a good place for new devs to get started. So a 
system, which lists tasks sorted by skills needed, would be a solution.

Later such a system could be used for Bounties as well. But I don't know 
if it is a good project for you. Actually I just wanted to write down 
the idea before I forget about it again.
