gerrit is also pretty bad at a few critical things:
- patch dependencies
- keeping feedback visible across patchsets
- retaining formatting of messages
- the status e-mail's that get sent out

i'm not a general gerrit hater (there are things it does well), i just find
these bits to not work well for development styles that are heavily based on
e-mail lists
