The boost::date_time library needs enhancements in the timezone handling area. Specifically, the existing timezone database is not capable of handling the date-based shifts that happen when timezones legally change. One possibility is to rewrite the timezone handling code. There is an open issue on GitHub which has received a couple thumbs up from the community: https://github.com/boostorg/date_time/issues/67 Would something like this qualify? - Jim

There is a few proposals already in https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code:-2019 that you can use as reference. It is not 100% clear from the ticket what needs to be done, but it seems like a good motivator for a GSOC, my only concern is that it may not be big enough to keep someone working full time on it for about 3 months. However, you can certainly extend the scope to make it fit.
Yes I'm sure it would be a great project. Have you submitted something on
the wiki here
https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code:-2019 ?
