I have been having similar questions as Dolph. Are you going to Paris by
chance? It'd be great to have a chat in person and understand exactly
your needs.

As Dolph mentioned, you may be able to use review.openstack.org for
that, keeping the patches as Work In Progress (workflow-1): your
developers can all participate in the reviews and mark the change as
'Ready for review' when ready. This will allow you to stay close to
trunk and avoid complex setup on your side. It also allows your
developers to participate more in the 'openstack way' of doing things,
maybe even do some code reviews for other patches while they're on
review.openstack.org, it's less likely that your team will show up with
a large patch after a long internal conversation.

Fair enough: how often does your Internet connection drop?
