RE: use something other than /tmp for as a staging area
Thanks for the quick reply Christian! I’ll pursue the TMPDIR solution, as I want to archive the failed diffs as potentially useful application/user behavior data.

We store temporary files in the configured temporary directory. You should be able to control this by setting the TMPDIR or TEMP environment variable in your Apache config or reviewboard.wsgi file.

use something other than /tmp for as a staging area
I recently had Review Board fill up my server's root partition after some poorly behaved users submitted many large diffs that were saved/staged in /tmp. Does anyone know of a config setting to change the directory in which Beview Board does its patch applying? It is easy to clean up /tmp, but I'd prefer to forestall the issue entirely by keeping this data on the application partition (and I like to keep the data around for investigation/analysis of failed patches). I've searched for a mention of any such setting in: 1) The admin dashboard 2) The django config files 3) The online docs (http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/admin/configuration/) 4) The mailing list archives I haven't found anything promising yet.
