It's no more or less an artifact of ON than is Cdm.py or a pile of
other things in SUNWonbld.  So?

Yes, I think someone could refactor SUNWonbld into "generally nifty
tools that should be used for all gates" (SUNWgnttsbufag) and an
ON-specific SUNWonbld.  But I'm not sure I see why that tool
refactoring is necessarily a gating item for the relatively simple
upgrade to webrev that you're talking about.

I think that separating out the things that can be used outside of ON
(such as at least the Cadmium extensions and webrev itself) is a bit
of work distinct from making webrev easily extensible for different
bug repositories.
