You should be using Rietveld for that.

There is no mention of Rietveld in the tracker docs that I could fine.
Did I miss something?

That fact that one needs to go to http://codereview.appspot.com/
rather than the rietveld page was not immediately obvious from 'use Rietveld'.

This is why I suggested ViewVC -- it already is at python.org and could potentially be directly accessed with a button.

These are less obvious.

Here is what I have gathered so far.

Open patch in browser tab to get its url.
Go to http://codereview.appspot.com/
Login in with Google account
Go to Create issue form
Copy and paste url into url field
To get comments mailed back to tracker,
put Issuexxxx in title and
put [email protected] in reviewer list

Should I open a tracker issue to add something to the tracker doc?
