To be honest, the idea is pretty weak as it is - remember that GSoC is 
supposed to be the equivalent of a full-time internship. Implementation-wise, 
your idea is boiling down to coding a single KRunner plugin with multiple 
matches (have a look at some of the existing ones) and not multiple plugins. 
This reduces duplication and lowers the workload.

Maybe joining this idea and the other two you mentioned in the next mail would 
do: I suggest you to try and write a short proposal, detailing part of the 
implementation and defining the time you plan to spend on average on each 
task.
