Just for you, Veit: https://reviews.reviewboard.org/r/7812/

I know this isn't a full answer to everything in your e-mail (it's nearly
3AM and I'm about to crash), but this should let you at least use api-get
without a local checkout by passing --server=<url>.

To answer your last question, the old-style API has been gone for a few
years, so it's not going to help you at all.

There's a hook (for git) available in
https://github.com/reviewboard/rbtools/tree/master/contrib/tools that
verifies approval before allowing a commit to go in, making use of Review
Board's approval states on review requests (which defaults to requiring >=
1 Ship Its and no open issues, but extension hooks can augment/replace this
logic). Could be useful as inspiration, though any work on it will require
some Python development.
