Am I right you are asking this because of following GSoC project: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas#Comments_improvements 
? I'm not that familiar with the workflow of GSoC, but as far I know you 
need to send an 'application' to work on particular projects, and that 
only 1 developer can work on 1 project. Are the projects already 
distributed among the participants? If not, I recommend to wait start 
working on this project and have a look at the EasyHacks 
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks_by_Difficulty) 
to get a bit confident with LibreOffice code base. Otherwise there are 
also some bugs regarding comments which you can find on BugZilla 
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=281559&short_desc=comment&query_format=advanced&bug_status=NEW&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&component=Writer&product=LibreOffice).

Anyhow:

Based on my own experience (https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/2572/) 
with comments I can redirect you to following folder: sw/source/ui/docvw/

I hope another developer can add some interesting links too :)?
