I'm happy to propose and mentor a GSOC project for the binutils, and wanted to make sure I'm doing it right, hence the review!

+  <p><b>Description of the project:</b> Binary utilities (aka binutils) are a
+    set of tools used to inspect and analyze generated binary files. We have
+    recently developed new versions of these in the LLVM project so we can
+    remove the need for their GNU equivalents. The base functionality is done,
+    but there are many missing features. In this project you will be
+    contributing to the LLVM binutils, adding these additional features, in
+    tools such as llvm-readobj, llvm-objdump and llvm-objcopy. This will require
+    you to become an expert in the specification details for various object file
+    formats, such as ELF and COFF.</p>
+  <p><b>Expected Results:</b> Patch contributions to the LLVM binary utilities
+    to improve the quality of existing features and to add missing
+    functionality.</p>
+  <p><b>Confirmed Mentor:</b> James Henderson</p>
+  <p><b>Desirable skills:</b> Intermediate knowledge of C++.</p>
