I might be misunderstanding what you're suggesting here, but it sounds
like this would imply that reviews could end up off in a Gerrit repo
somewhere, never getting posted to the mailing lists at all. That would
make me sad. The list archives are this project's community memory,
and I have every expectation that they'll still be around and useful
when Gerrit is forgotten. I don't object to people using their
tools-of-choice to perform reviewing, but we need some way of making
sure that the reviews get archived.
