It's not clear to me whether you mean a new repository within the standard existing code-tools project, or another repo in a JDK forest, in a "common" subdirectory.
I meant a new repository within the code-tools project, most reasonably named http://hg.openjdk.java.net/code-tools/webrev.
How important is it to keep [compatibility with] make/script/webrev.ksh?
If we can achieve both the goal of moving the webrev script away from being tied to a specific jdk repo, and still let everyone keep their scripts/command lines/etc intact, I can't see the harm in that. It's no big deal forcing people to clone yet another repo to use webrev, but on the other hand, it's no big deal to make this change completely transparant as well -- and then I'd prefer the latter.
