I though that .reviewboardrc files in the current directory took precedence 
over files higher up the path, but it looks like I've got it backwards.

So if you have a $HOME/.reviewboardrc, it will override whatever settings 
you might have in ./.reviewboardrc

A comment in the source code helped me figure this out:

In /filesystem.py:

def get_config_paths():
    """Return the paths to each .reviewboardrc influencing the cwd.

    A list of paths to .reviewboardrc files will be returned, where
    each subsequent list entry should take precedence over the previous.
    i.e. configuration found in files further down the list will take
    precedence.
    """
    config_paths = []
    for path in walk_parents(os.getcwd()):
        filename = os.path.join(path, CONFIG_FILE)
        if os.path.exists(filename):
            config_paths.insert(0, filename)

    filename = os.path.join(get_home_path(), CONFIG_FILE)
    if os.path.exists(filename):
        config_paths.append(filename)

    return config_paths
