I don't use Gmail, and using email for review still sucks. No matter how you slice it, email was not meant for threaded code reviews.

Also while I can use git-send-email, not everyone can. And patches as attachments are simply awful. Unfortunately I can't dictate that people don't send patches that way.

Proper threaded reviews with state tracking, ability to collapse and expand context and files, and proper listing of open MR (*not* like patchwork).
