GSoC should be treated as a full-time job, that's how much time you're expected to dedicate to it. Having bachelor's degree exams in June would be a serious problem. You'll need to discuss with the potential mentors on how to make up for that time.
 
My bachelor's diploma is almost done and I will have enough time for GSoC work.
 
Other than that, the schedule seems fairly relaxed. In fact, this project seems a bit too small for a GSoC project. I'd suggest coming up with some additional GiST-related work that you could do, in addition to the microvacuum thing. Otherwise I think there's a risk that you finish the patch in May, and have nothing to do for the rest of the summer.

I want to take additional work-item for gsoc 2015.

I don't known, which item of todo is completed, but I compose list of items: 

1) add support for microvacuum for GIN index in common with Anastasiya Lubennikova (she will be realize function amgettuple in GIN), if it's a possible feature.


3) Teach GIN cost estimation about "fast scans"(I know very little about GIN, but discussion in mailing list was interesting for me)


5) may be community can suggest me such thing with GiST or microvacuum for GiST will be usefull for all.

Best wishes,
Ivanitskiy Ilya.
