gps's post is what I was talking about.  It doesn't go into many details, but, 
to reiterate his main point, the mapping of disparate review systems is 
difficult and has lots of edge cases.  To add a bit of specifics, the models 
behind review flags in BMO, which are independent objects associated with 
specific attachments, is very different from the way Phabricator treats 
reviews, which are particular states of a revision.  It's doubtful we could 
ever have a perfect translation, so it would always be some sort of a hack.  
We've determined that a better solution is to expose Phabricator requests in 
Bugzilla as notifications and dashboards, as I linked in one of my replies 
above.
