[Python-Dev] We should be using a tool for code reviews (original) (raw)

While I would personally love to see Rietveld declared the official core Python code review tool, I realize that since I wrote as a Google engineer and it is running on Google infrastructure (App Engine), I can't be fully objective about the tool choice -- even though it is open source, has several non-Googler maintainers, and can be run outside App Engine as well.

I considered having roundup post all patches to Rietveld (trust me that I can solve the "what branch and revision problem").

However, the stumbling block is access control - I don't know how to get roundup to post to Rietveld, "anonymously", so to speak.

So perhaps we should just run our own Rietveld instance next to Roundup.

Regards, Martin
