This ties post-reviews to Mesos pretty tightly, which isn't horrible but it's 
definitely a useful tool that I could see other people leveraging outside of 
Mesos. Why not do this as a git commit hook? I think commit hooks can be 
arbitrary programs so you can just copy this code to it's own file in the 
support directory.

I acknowledge the benefit of having people using post-reviews getting this 
functionality "for free" (without having to "install" the commit hook) but 
we'll have plenty of people who will not use post-reviews so this argument 
isn't air tight. Instead, we'll need some documentation for developers working 
with Mesos that says "use post-reviews" and we can also say "and install this 
commit hook".

Here is another thought ... what about making post-reviews automatically do 
"validation" and make validation pluggable? You could make the default look for 
validation in the same directory as post-reviews (or something similar) but 
that would enable pulling post-reviews out of Mesos more easily. And yes, I 
know there is other work that needs to get done to make post-reviews stand 
alone, but that's not a good argument for making that process harder in the 
future.
