1. is there any maoing way to view all rietveld patches for lilypond?  IIRC there's such a thing for user-specific patches, so hopefully there is.  Also, rietveld is an appspot thing; maybe if we had a "lilypond" google apps thing, we could have a dedicated code review?
(I'm not actually proposing the latter, but I'd like somebody to look into the possibility)

2. how should non-developers comment on patches?  Do we encourage/force everybody to use rietveld, or let non-devels use email, or what?

I'll probably tackle these if nobody else does in the next two or three weeks.

    I think it would be best if we eventually migrate *away* from Rietveld, primarily because it is based on SVN, and that isn't going to change.

    Here's an idea:

    We set up a page on lilynet, maybe http://codereview.lilynet.net, that uses Gerrit (https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/).

    Gerrit is extremely easy to set up, and the only dependency is a Java Runtime Environment.  Everything else is bundled in the web application (gerrit-*.war).

    Regarding your second point, Gerrit uses OpenID logins by default, but Google accounts are also supported.

    That's a nice idea; obviously we should discuss it with more LilyPond developers before making any move.
    John is currently setting up a git repo on a lilynet subdomain, which we could probably use to test Gerrit. (There's also http://www.reviewboard.org/ that seems appealing.)

    Graham: I've been using Google apps domain quite a bit, but I don't think Rietveld is fully integrated with it yet (particularly, as Patrick pointed out, when it comes to non-svn projects). The inability for Rietveld to simply display every patches related to a specific project puzzles me as well: it makes a Patch-Meister's job a *lot* more difficult.
