This is the most important point you make. It doesn't actually need
to be fancy; it could be an enhancement of Tero Kivinen's review tool,
or an extension of the data tracker, with relevant emails captured of
course. It would greatly enhance the last call process.

A github for IETF drafts would substantially move us in that
direction.  In addition to tracking document revisions, github
supports in-line comments, pull requests, ...

+1.  Or any other git-based commercial repository service.  (Even a
Fossil-based one, but please, no SVN.)

I was thinking about using for last calls a webpage containing:
 - the draft text
 - a message from the shepherd (writeup in the case of IETF LC)
 - links to any directorate reviews that have been received
 - Disqus comments.

I think a source control solution like git works better for document 
development in the WG, less so for IETF last call.
