The thing that Gerrit excels at is tracking the different versions of a given patch, being able to easily diff versions, etc. And then mark a patch as merged once it's committed to master. Patchwork doesn't have this capability built-in (AFAIK). You can try to do some automation, but I doubt that any system based solely on getting patches from a mailing list can ever be as good as something like Gerrit for this. Simon
