I would like to recommend that the Python core developers start using a code review tool such as Rietveld or Reviewboard. I don't really care which tool we use (I'm sure there are plenty of pros and cons to each) but I do think we should get out of the stone age and start using a tool for the majority of our code reviews.

He, several of us would like it too (although for short patches it doesn't really make a difference), but what's missing is some kind of Roundup integration. Something as trivial as a "start review" button in front of every uploaded patch file would do the trick; it has been suggested several times already, but what's needed is someone to write the code :)
