If it was me. I'd want to work on something unique to servo & FUN. I'd go for async work with the canvas. We have some good options of running stuff in parallel that other browsers don't.
You could come up with a very cool demo of a game using canvas that took advantage of all four cores of a quad core machine. (idn maybe the AI running on one thread, graphics on another, and the main event loop on a third). I vaguely remember an iframe animation that on servo ran asynchronously to the main frame but on other browser was jerky.
