These environments are *very* different (App Engine has its own unique noSQL API) and it took a major hack (not by MvL) to get it to work outside App Engine. That fork is not supported, and hence our Rietveld installation still has various bugs that have long been squashed in the main Rietveld repo. (And no, I don't have time to help with this -- my recommendation is to move off Rietveld to something supported.)


It probably makes sense to include code reviews in the matrix of what tools we’re going to use then yea?

Like Github/Bitbucket/etc have review built in. Other tools like Phabricator do as well but are self hosted instead.
