I would at best +0 on such an addition.  As I mentioned before, the
largest obstacle for me in reviewing the patches is being unable to
open them in the browser due to the use of a non-standard extension.
For small patches, as long as they open and are in unified diff
format, I don't have a problem reviewing them in plain text view.
For larger patches, colored diff offers only a minor improvement over
plain text compared to a large improvement I get from Rietveld.

I believe this should be treated as any other RFE.  AFAICT, tracker
sources are available from SVN and metatracker is the place to post a
patch.  I don't think ViewVC module is available within roundup and
there may be licensing issues that need to be looked into before it
can be integrated.  Other than that, writing viewvc-style diff viewer
plugin for roundup does not strike me as a terribly difficult project,
but my +0 vote means that I am not going to write it.
