Personally I think reviews on the mailing list is far superior than any other review methods. I've even blogged about it and all the reasons[1]. Gerrit is better than bugzilla, but it still requires a web browser, and logging in.

I love to be able to just hit 'reply' with my favorite MUA, comment inline, and hit send.

Cheers.
