When GDB upstream tried to use gerrit, I found it basically impossible to
follow development, given the volume... The great thing with email is the
threading of discussions. A discussion can fork into its own subthread, and any
sane email client will display the discussion tree. Email archives also let
you follow the discussion subthreads. That is great for archaeology too.
With Gerrit that was basically lost, everything is super flat. And then following
development via the gerrit instance website alone is just basically impossible too.
I mean, gerrit is great to track your own patches, and for the actual review
and diffing between versions. But for a maintainer who wants to stay on top of a
project, then it's severely lacking, IME and IMO.
(Note: I've been using Gerrit for a few years at AMD internally.)
