The other option (as discussed on Buzz) is to add Rietveld's upload.py to Misc/ and tell people to use that to submit the patch.
It sounds like a good option (or, even better, a customized version as suggested by Daniel).
Then we simply say to the person submitting the patch, "upload it to Rietveld and paste in the link" or simply require it upfront to encourage people to do the upload in the first place.
We shouldn't require it. Some people don't have a Google account (and/or don't want to have one). Also sometimes posting on Rietveld is overkill (patches less than 30 lines long fall in this category, as far as I'm concerned).
This would let usage to move forward until we get that "start review" button (wasn't Ezio looking into it?).
Yes, I think Ezio was looking into it, but working on the tracker apparently has a tendency to burn out developers rather quickly :-/ (first Ajaksu, now Ezio) Regards Antoine.
