We moved to GitHub in the hope of lowering the bar to contributors
outside the team. GitHub is *the* platform and process for open source
software. This was the logic behind the move. It was deemed to have the
most mindshare and we sacrificed our prefered platform and process to be
part of that mindshare.
We are now leaving that 'main stream' process to something that suits
the tastes of our team - ReviewBoard. This adds friction for new
contributors (friction everyone has experienced this week). If we value
our preferred methods of reviewing over keeping to a well known process
for outside contributors, the best process was launchpad + rietveld.
Shouldn't we simply return to that.
Considering we have been successfully using GitHub for several months
now, using reviewboard is not a necessity. Obviously, I will go with
whatever the team decides, but I'm concerned that we have moved to
reviewboard without considering that it undermines (as far as I can see)
our primary reason for using GitHub.
