There's a lot unfinished here, but it's good enough for my purposes ;)

The report selector, in particular, needs a lot of love.  At the moment it
only allows selecting the report and a format.  The user and period fields
are wired up, but there's no UI.

  1. Looks like a good start, but I'd like to see such information accessible on a per-user basis. It'd be nice to just have the wiki auto-embed or auto-link to the generated status report per-user every week. The less w have to do for status reports, the better :)
    1. That's what the "user" query parameter is for ;)
    2. Oh, I missed that.
      
      In that case, can we change it to accept a URL of /status_report/<user>/ (or <user>/status_report/ might be better). Should make for a cleaner URL.
      
      I would actually really like to minimize query parameters, so something like /reports/<user>/status_report/<period>/ would be ideal, imho. More natural, easier to remember, and we can set up a matching JSON API path at some point to get the information.
    3. OK, I've updated it to be /reports/<user>/<report type>/<format>/
      
      Period is still a query string since I want to eventually rework it to be a lot more flexible (right now it's just "n days in the past from right now"), and I'm not yet sure what the final thing will look like.

    Out of curiosity, any reason why we don't rearrange reports to be a dictionary with 'report_review_requests', 'report_reviews', and 'report_status_report' keys?
    
    I suppose it's for the template, though that should be able to work still and auto-sort alphabetically unless we want to preserve a specific sort order. Anyhow, food for thought.
    
    On a similar note, it might be nice to use dictionaries instead of tuples for things like the template name and format and such, to improve code readability in the report function.

  1. Awesome, looks good!

    We should at some point write some middleware to always output charset=UTF-8. Though I wonder if we get this already, since diffs and all show in UTF-8.
    1. I think it does *unless* you specify content-type by hand, like I'm doing here.
    2. Ohhh, okay. That makes sense.
