Gerrit will prevent exactly what you describe below, that is people having to
harvest across the mailing list for patches and never being quite sure if
something was missed.

Once:

 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51159

that we do have a big 'how do I use this thing' confusion on switchover.
