We initially implemented a reviewboard extension to add the reviewboard URL to JIRA tickets in a "Code Review URL" field and update the issue status to "In Code Review". What we discovered is that, since the operation is synchronous with JIRA, it slowed down submitting changes to reviewboard. Also, when JIRA dies (not an uncommon occurrence), the request to update the JIRA issue can just puke in the log file, cause reviewboard timeouts, and is then subsequently lost. To mitigate these problems, we implemented a cron job that polls for the latest reviewboard changes and updates JIRA out-of-band. The cron job uses the rbtools and jira-python modules. The downside is that the JIRA issue updating is not instantaneous.
