What operating system are you using? What browser?
Ubuntu 14.04
Please provide any additional information below.
The issue is that in reviewboard.admin.support:serialize_support_data(), siteconfig.get() returns None when the key is not found (so perhaps something changed in Djblets?). Thus there end up being None values in the list passed to str.join(), which results in the TypeError.
Passing a "" default (or using the ' or ""' idiom) would resolve the issue. As well, the error may indicate a failure case that happens only with a certain combination of options to rb-site install where defaults do not get set properly on siteconfig.
While it looks like later versions of ReviewBoard do not have the problematic serialize_support_data(), they do have get_support_url(), which presumably suffers from the same problem. Furthermore, this failure happens with 2.0.6, which is the version that apt-get installs on Ubuntu 14.04. So I expect it would be worth addressing in the older version as well.
In the meantime I plan on working around the problem by passing empty strings for the --admin-email and --company options.
