The time consuming part is the reviewing the patch and using Gerrit does at= tempt to make sure the reviewers are emailed directly. This to me helps to = require reviews as sometimes the huge email volume on the list is difficult= to see patches someone needs to review. I would much more prefer one email (from Gerrit) per patch set instead of 1= 0 or 30 emails in some cases for a single email. Using gerrit also combines= the patch review comments, patchwork and email list into one tool plus it = can kick off the build and checkpatch processes. Having a Gerrit model is not a bad process model and allows for multiple co= mmitters. I know it is a new tool and it is pretty simple to use.=20 >=20 Regards, Keith
