Well, a properly linked email thread contains all this. I have seen a
couple of anti-patterns evolving, though, including patch authors
starting a new email thread for each patch version, and reviewers
starting a new email thread for each review. When that happens, the
existence of the commitfest app makes things worse, in a way. (Of
course, any discussion here about bug trackers emphasizes the need for
email to be the primary communications method for this very reason.)
