Well, I'm totally unfamiliar with Allura's Review mechanism so I can't comment 
on that, but I think I'd favour making the minimal changes needed at this time, 
vis just moving the tracker.  Since, as you say, git-cl was designed to work 
with a tracker and review that are independent it should be fine with just 
moving the tracker.

That's good news!  So it looks like we have the makings of a complete solution, 
even if we can't figure out how Patchy works.  I'm sure we'll find some 
undesirable features of Allura when we get down to the details, but that's what 
the next few weeks will tell us.
