I don't think so (the internal version we use does, but I haven't seen this one implement the same scoring system). An issue is either open or closed.

Yes, a single issue can track multiple versions of the same patch and patch sets. The tool can show you different views of the patches as well. > And how does this integrate > with reviewers not using the tool but old-style e-mails? If you respond by e-mail (with the subject and CC lines untouched), it will add the email to the issue trail, just like bugzilla does. > > Thus, is the tool useful to track stalled patches? (does it know when > a patch is committed and where?) Issues will remain visible to you (when you log in) until they are marked closed by the patch creator. So, yes. I don't think the tool knows when the patch is committed, though. Currently, we are using the standard deployment of Rietveld on appspot, but if we find this generally useful we could deploy another instance on sourceware. It should not be hard and I'd volunteer to do it if there is sufficient interest. I would like to give it a try first, though. Diego.
