Originally wrote this to Ryan, who developed the reviewboard Jenkins
plugin, but his e-mail address no longer works, so just sending it to
the dev list instead.

Hi, Ryan,
The other day I wrote a patch-parameter plugin [1] that lets people
submit a patch file to Jenkins and build it.
I was talking to orrc in the IRC and he thought that the review board
plugin might be able to take advantages of this --- the idea is that
when people create new reviews and submit a patch, Jenkins can provide a
feedback by testing out that patch.
A similar mechanism exists for Git, which is implemented in the gerrit
trigger plugin [2], and this was very well received.
I don't personally use review board, but I think it'll be a great
feature. So I just wanted to pass it on.
