Ditto. While I've mostly been addressing the issues the bother me, I do so
in the belief that they likely bother others. The goal is to make the WebKit
project more productive. If there are other bits that slow you down, please
to voice it.

For example, how much do people care about being able to do part of a review
on one computer and finish it on another? It would be relatively
straightforward to save the draft comments to a web server instead of to
localstorage to make this work.

Fixed. We now only erase draft comments when the publish succeeds.

Whoops. This was just an oversight. We now save the overall comments field
as well.
