Sure, a project for transition to new symbology / labeling can be added too.

Generally when adding ideas for GSoC projects, it's good to add some
details about the project. The potential students applying for GSoC
may not be very familiar with QGIS. They need to know more details -
what exactly is missing, what should be the result of such project and
maybe also some suggestions how that could be accomplished. Otherwise
the idea will be most likely overlooked. Two paragraphs should be
enough. For example, KDE had a well-done page with ideas:
