Splinter does not have any dependencies on its own (YUI2?) as it is pure
javascript but it is an extension and is not part of the upstream Bugzilla
code and likely will never be.

Reviewboard is the direction *Mozilla* is moving for code review and there
is work to integrate it would BMO specifically using extensions and the
webservice API. So another solution that will likely not be part of the
upstream as it is a fully third party code review tool.

I agree as we. Upstream Bugzilla itself needs to have some sort of native
patch viewer built in and PatchReader is the best thing for now. People are
still able to install whatever add-ons they want be it Splinter, Reviewboard
or something else.
