I have reservations about the use of FUSE mounts. I fear they behave like NFS 
mounts: very long timeouts blocking apps (that use synchronous file 
operations) for entire minutes, when network or server goes down. I could be 
wrong, since I don't know much about FUSE, but that means the first step is 
for someone to prove me wrong ;)
As it stands, I am not willing to mentor a kiofuse-related project.

OTOH there's a ton of porting to be done, but that might be hard to scope for 
gsoc.
