I am a final year student (expected graduation date: May 2019) of Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong. I participated in GSoC and worked with coala to implement a meta-review system, which collects and tracks GitHub reactions used by coala community to generate meaningful analysis. I also improved usability of gh-board, a serverless kanban board, fixing some issues and extending it to track reviews & meta-reviews.

coala community website now has a meta-review ranking list.
coala gh-board website now has a column displaying review comments that need to be meta-reviewed. I also fixed many issues around gh-board repo. I sent some patches to upstream repos, including pull request philschatz/gh-board#147, and ryanprior/gh-board#1. Those enhancements are generic for any gh-board user, thus we have been hoping that the upstream gh-board repos will become better maintained.
Apart from all above, I did some other contributions to the community, including doing reviews, and fixing several issues around coala & coala-bears repo.
Most things went smoothly. The biggest challenge for me was that I did not have serious frontend experience. Before I applied for this project, I had no frontend development knowledge at all, while two thirds of my project was about javascript and React. Luckily, org admin and all my mentors were very willing to help and review my work. coala community always do extremely careful reviews and expect high quality of code. It was hard work for me, but I did learn a lot at the same time.
The ranking list on community website is very basic. It could be prettified and improved. As it is a ranking list, filtering, sorting & searching options could be added. The algorithm used in the meta-review ranking system is basic: it uses naive iterative algorithm to calculate scores, which can be enhanced in the future.
There are still some issues around with gh-board. A major improvement which can be done is GitLab support - it currently only supports GitHub.
