Hello,
I'm one of the members of the core team, and while I cannot speak for
the whole team nor indiscriminately guarantee integration, I can say
that I would be very interested in that sort of collaboration, and I
suspect the rest of the team would agree. If the produced code is good
quality I see no reason why it shouldn't be integrated. Actually, as a
rule we even try to have GSoC students commit directly or almost
directly to git master without long review periods.
I also think I understand quite well your use case since I've been a
founding member of a wireless network community myself several years
ago :)
Feel free to drop by in #amarok on Freenode, you can contact me (Teo`)
or any of the operators.

Cheers,
