I think one thing that got missed from previous discussions would be a way for 
anyone to submit a change once it is marked as Good, including ways for users 
without commit access.

Due to this, Reviewboard (as currently implemented) is hard for people new to 
KDE to use, as KDE contributors mark an RR as "Ship It" without having a way 
for the new person to actually commit it.  This introduces an awkward step in 
contributing, where either a user asks for a developer to actually commit the 
code (often by remarking an RR with the "Ship It" designation), or a developer 
explicitly asking on an RR if the user has commit access.
