I tend to think it's the principal reviewers that will drive this. If several of the key folks indicated they were going to use system XYZ, whatever it is, that would drive everyone to that system. We're currently using patchwork to track patches tagged with RISC-V. We don't do much review with patchwork. In that model patchwork ultimately just adds overhead as I'm constantly trying to figure out what patches have been integrated vs what are still outstanding. Patchwork definitely isn't the answer IMHO. Nor is gitlab MRs which we use heavily internally. But boy I want to get away from email and to a pull request kind of flow. jeff
