Code reviews in Launchpad and Bundle Buggy

Hi all,

Some people may have noticed the code review features in Launchpad 1.2.5
and wondered about its relation to Bundle Buggy.

Code Reviews are a new feature that allows people to comment on proposed
merges, and include a vote with that proposal.

I am the author of both that feature and Bundle Buggy.  They serve
similar needs, but are not the same.

Code Review is designed to work for any project.  It is tightly
integrated into Launchpad and provides its own discussion forum.  Its
primary objects are branches.  For a project that already uses
Launchpad, it does not require any additional setup.

Bundle Buggy is tailored to Bazaar's particular review process.  It uses
the project's existing mailing list, and also ties into Launchpad and
GMANE.  Its primary objects are merge directives.  It is Free software,
and anyone can deploy it whether or not they use Launchpad.

I don't consider one better than the other.  They are still too
different for a direct comparison to make sense.  I certainly intend to
keep working on both.  I do consider Bundle Buggy better *for the Bazaar
project*, because it's tuned to our workflow and can continue to adapt
to our needs directly.
