Development of git-review is managed by OpenStack's Gerrit, which can be found at https://review.openstack.org/ Instructions on submitting patches can be found at http://wiki.openstack.org/GerritWorkflow git-review should, in general, not depend on a huge number of external libraries, so that installing it is a lightweight operation. All code should be pep8-compliant. It won't merge otherwise. A tox config file has been added for easy local testing. Just run: tox And it will check the code for you.
