I know this is probably a stupid question, but since I can't see the answer, 
perhaps other can't either. As far as I can see, we need

1. Actual git repositories
2. User access controls
3. Merge requests/reviewboard
4. A bug tracking system

How about the really simple solution of git + ssh + unix groups, and patching 
reviewboard to support git, while keeping bugzilla as is? While nowhere near 
as fancy, it seems a robust solution with minimal impact and maintenance, 
where the only hard part would be the reviewboard patching. There, a simple 
solution could be a social control, where non-trivial patches are not pushed 
until reviewboarded, but are otherwise pushed in the normal git-push fashion? 
If we wanted to be fancy, we could have a sign-off SHA or URI in the commit 
message, which could even be required.

Obviously, since this option is not listed it is a no-go for some reason, but 
what reason is that?
