What tools are used to generate the Erlang PDF manuals? Would they be
suitable?

Agreed. I think using a distributed SCM such as git would be a good
alternative to a web-based code review tool. The forking and pulling
workflow supports code review as-is, albeit not explicitly (cf.
http://shifteleven.com/articles/2008/05/17/code-reviews-inherit-in-git).
Switching to an e-mail client, or some code review application is too
much work, particularly for smaller contributions.
