+Enhancing Mercurial/Rietveld/Roundup integration
+------------------------------------------------
+
+One useful part of the OpenStack workflow is the "git review" plugin,
+which makes it relatively easy to push a branch from a local git clone up
+to Gerrit for review.
+
+It seems that it should be possible to create a plugin that similarly
+integrates Mercurial queues with Rietveld and Roundup, allowing a draft
+patch to be uploaded as easily as running a command like "hg qpost" with a
+suitable .hgqpost configuration file checked in to the source repo.
+
+(There's an existing `hg review <http://sjl.bitbucket.org/hg-review/>`__,
+plugin hence the suggestion of ``hg qpost`` as an alternate command)
+
+It would also be good to work directly with the Mercurial folks to come up
+with a tailored CPython-specific tutorial for using Mercurial queues and
+other extensions to work effectively with the CPython repository structure.
+We have some of that already in the developer guide, but I've come to believe
+that we may want to start getting more opinionated as to which extensions
+we recommend using, especially for users that have previously learned
+``git`` and need to know which extensions to enable to gain a similar level
+of flexibility in their local workflow from Mercurial.
