Hi, I have read your application complete. I had prepared a rough draft of application some time back on this topic in comparison to I am making a few comments here.
1. I think you should mention how much time you are going to work on your project per week roughly. It is usually around 35-40 hours/week. 2. The amount of time you have allotted for automation of release process is too much. To complete the automation of release process around 6 - 8 weeks is enough I guess. 3. Rather than manually checking the images generated by pyglet I think it should be done using image matching software. Note: It seems that MATLAB does image matching but it is a proprietary software and I am searching for an open source equivalent I think Octave may be able to do it. 4. Can you consider adding tests to sympy-bot in your application?? It is a much needed feature according to me at least. 5. You have mentioned 'automatic checking for new commits' as part of Week 13. Presently there are a lot of issues in sympy-bot issue list relating to the sympy-bot crashes. I think you really have to fix them before starting the work with 'automatic checking for new commits'. Other wise the loop with which you are running through will simply crash and somebody has to keep checking it all the time. I think you should try to fix an issue in the sympy-bot list. When I first tried to fix an issue in sympy-bot, I didn't understand how to start with it for a day so. The main reason for it is lack of documentation in sympy-bot. I still don't know how exactly the report on reviews site is prepared. Working on a issue, I think, will make you comfortable to work with sympy-bot. You can try this issue I guess https://github.com/sympy/sympy-bot/issues/47. I think it is a easy one.
