This was my position before UDS, and I'm still okay with it if it's the general consensus of the group.

And this is what changed my mind about the best way to make the transition. I don't remember who mentioned it in the session, but there was a pretty quick spread around the room of "Oh, this is a really bad experience for new developers." We're trying to recruit new Ubuntu developers with a first experience of being ignored for months (or years). :( > Personally I'd rather like to see REVU closed, the documentation changed > and for packaging review (or general code review) any VCS be used, where > you can very easily track changes in packaging, without incrementing > packaging version numbers. I'll propose a compromise: how about we remove REVU from the documentation for new packagers, so we're not pointing people there first anymore. The MOTU/core-dev who are still using REVU for package reviews can keep using it, they'll just tell their mentorees to go there.
