I'd be happy to set up a second instance running on csswg.org for the interim.

The fact that we have ~2000 review comments over the course of two years in a pre-existing system that we're not willing to throw away. The plan of record is that I'm going to be adapting our existing system to integrate with GitHub. Once that's working, and we can merge our existing review data, we'll move our tests into the main repo.
