FWIW, I find this behavior of mozreview to be irritating. The commit message are send in bugmail, but they are hidden in UI (although you can unhide them). I can understand how multiple iterations of the patches would leave multiple comments with essentially the same content, but the opposite lack of anything displayed by default is also annoying. > I think there is an hg extension you can get to do it with splinter. Most things that attach patches automatically do that AFAIK. Obviously, when you attach patches manually, it's up to you.
