We have about 150 MediaWiki patches in Bugzilla that await review.  To 
make reviewers' lives easier, we could install an interactive patch 
review extension called Splinter on our Bugzilla installation.

A brief but old overview:

If you have a bugzilla.mozilla.org account you can try out the latest 
version here (random bug & patch chosen as an example):

We're going to get patches via Bugzilla from noncommitters for the 
foreseeable future and this seems like a quick way to make that more 
painless.  If there's a good Bugzilla-integrated patch review tool 
that's better than Splinter, tell me.  The Splinter extension is running 
on bugzilla.mozilla.org, which is at 4.0.1+.  So it's maintained and 
would be reasonable to install on our Bugzilla.

(This of course is all dependent on having sysadmin resources to check 
out alternatives and install Splinter or whatever's deemed best.)
