You mean next year's GSoC, right?  GSoC 2025 ends in two days...

Since you have raised your hand, we might consider to apply for GSOC
2026 – there wasn't any interest in the previous years.

Making LilyPond emit MusicXML would be quite an important feature.  On
the other hand, the future is MNX (https://w3c.github.io/mnx/docs/),
the successor format for MusicXML that is under active development.
Ideally, LilyPond should support both output formats.
