This looks awesome!

I've been working on some similar stuff for a while also.[1][2]

I'm particularly interested in trying to establish a standard for
storing review data in git. I've got a prototype for doing that[3],
and an example tool that uses it[4]. The tool is still incomplete/buggy though.

There seem to be a number of us trying to solve this in our different ways,
it would be great to coordinate our efforts.

The prototype library I have is partly the result of some discussion and work
with the Gerrit folks, since they were thinking about this problem
before I even started writing git-candidate, and solved it with Notedb.[5]

Let me know if you'd like to work together on this,
I've been considering taking the perl-notedb prototype and writing
a C library for it with bindings for other languages (i.e. Rust).
