Hey, this thread is pure gold.

There are a lot of comparisons with GitHub PRs (BTW, that wasn't my motivation), but besides this, it's pretty nice to see the review process in "e-mail flow".

E-mail threads are really great for discussions but before I follow Git mailing list I did never realize how useful they are to PR reviews as well.
