Yes, it is a different project, and we cannot run it on top of PostgreSQL directly.
Maybe we can learn from it by:
1. Study its benchmark. The benchmark used is YCSB [1], and maybe we can generate data and run queries in a similar way as YCSB in our project. YCSB already discussed the order to insert data and the distribution models of data.
2. Study how they use R-tree and GiST in their system, and perhaps we can be inspired and be able to borrow some ideas when we implement our patch.
I'm still learning the codebase of PostgreSQL and how R-tree/GiST can be implemented. Does that make sense?

ScalaGiST is quite distant project. It is not PostgreSQL part, it is MR subsystem.
