Yeah, that doesn't seem ideal. ;(

Ditto.

This is pretty interesting... I assume after following the steps they
would have a persistent instance they could use moving forward. It
doesn't need anything special to talk to their project on hosted? 
Does it end up costing the end project anything? ;) 

What happens if someone sets up an instance and then disappears? 
Does the project have any way to deal with that? Or just make a new one?

Would someone be interested in trying this out and seeing how well it
actually works? Is there a project or two that are really wanting to
use reviewboard that we could ask?

Well, there's https://www.rbcommons.com/plans/ but thats a cost/month. 
(Which might be worth it for some projects).
