I would like to provide some feedback, too: The whole process of GSoC was very confusing to me. Students communicated on melange, mediawiki.org http://mediawiki.org, and mailing lists. Some also emailed me and others privately. This scattered communication made me feel I was not able to properly inform myself of the feedback cycles a proposal went through. Melange not having any capabilities to show differences between versions of proposals, does not help - that's unfortunately not something we can directly information. I hope that the number of communication platforms for GSoC communication and documentation can be reduced in the next iteration, to make the process easier to follow to those that are supposed to comment on, evaluate and rank the proposals.
You may be interested in this script http://people.freedesktop.org/~cbosdo/melange-mails-to-git
It converts melange emails to git, so that should be able to give you a history of the proposal (I haven't tried it). If you miss something on it, try dropping a line to Cedric.
