There might be something, but that sort of project is much harder to structure than a clear implement something. There are always new devices that don't have drivers that someone is interested in supporting. The main requirement is to find find something that the mentor things is the right balance of complex and not too complex to support. The link you have above suggests Dragos was thinking of an Analog devices part (which makes sense given his day job ;) You are still fairly early (which is great) so it may well be that Dragos hasn't yet spun up for this round.
