[Somebody is already working on reg.exe.] Does that mean the project is no longer free for grabs?
It depends. The SoC staff frown on joint projects, but it's possible.
It seem that Andrew Riedi, the author of the reg.exe stub woun't participate in this years GSoC and is willing to leave work to a GSoC student. I suppose that can be cleanly enough separated so that it couldn't be seen as a joint project anymore than the whole Wine itself.
I have no idea how much work there is in a reg.exe implementation... but if there is (or will be) enough left that means this project is still free.
