I don't recall specifically :-( Which in itself might mean it's
worthwhile to make another try. But i recall trying that one and
reviewboard, and none of them was what we needed.

If you look at Berkus' list of required features (if you haven't seen
it, I'm sure he'll be happy to send you a copy), you will see that it
doesn't come close. We can always argue if his list is reasonable :-),
but that's just a fact. It has nothing about round-robin reviewers. It
has no keep-track-of-nagging features. It has no integration with our
mail archives. At least it didn't then - it also appears to have no
online documentation, so I can't easily check now :-P
