A Django-based code review app called Review Board runs at VMware with about 80% of engineering using it and has accepted patches from 74 contributors. It ships a companion library Giblets providing DataGrids (customizable, drag‑and‑drop columns), a SiteConfig UI that stores settings in JSON to avoid editing settings.py, and a Web API/JSON serializer. A command‑line helper postreview posts diffs; heavy aggressive caching and repository integration (SVN/CVS/Perforce) make pages usable.
