How do you guys release features as "staff-only"? Do you have some internal tool that manages that?

No. There's simple conventions for adding feature flags (user.some_feature_enabled?). Features are enabled and disabled by changing the code and deploying. This works because deploying new code is fast.

We do use Rollout (https://github.com/jamesgolick/rollout) once in awhile. Most of the time, we like having the history of flipped feature flags in the Git code though.
