As mentioned in an earlier mail, ReviewBoard provides a command
line utility (called post-review) that can send changes from a
local clone to a ReviewBoard instance, and it can auto-discover
the URL of that ReviewBoard instance if it's found in the repo-
sitory data. We can provide for that on the server side.

IOW, one possible workflow for external contributers is to
clone the Rekonq repository to their local hard drive (via the
anonymous read-access), do the work and then use post-review
to easily post the work to KDE's ReviewBoard, as well as post
further updates after review.

post-review is part of the RBTools package that is already
found in a number of distributions, e.g. Fedora, so it is
easily available. Instructions can be put into a contributor
guide on Techbase, similar to e.g. the git contribution guide
Amarok wrote for Gitorious on their wiki.
