Hello!
From what I saw on
http://blog.fishsoup.net/2009/09/23/splinter-patch-review/ it seems very useful for people who are starting to provide patches for MW. Having this kind of feedback seems very good.
I don't know if this is of any help but there is a similar tool available for users of http://code.google.com
Best Regards, Helder

We have about 150 MediaWiki patches in Bugzilla that await review. To make reviewers' lives easier, we could install an interactive patch review extension called Splinter on our Bugzilla installation.
A brief but old overview:

If you have a bugzilla.mozilla.org account you can try out the latest version here (random bug & patch chosen as an example):

Might also be worth adapting some ideas from it for CodeReview in MW (making cleaner annotations against bits of code would be nice)
We're going to get patches via Bugzilla from noncommitters for the foreseeable future and this seems like a quick way to make that more painless. If there's a good Bugzilla-integrated patch review tool that's better than Splinter, tell me. The Splinter extension is running on bugzilla.mozilla.org, which is at 4.0.1+. So it's maintained and would be reasonable to install on our Bugzilla.
(This of course is all dependent on having sysadmin resources to check out alternatives and install Splinter or whatever's deemed best.)
