I guess if anything we'd want something git-centric now like github or gitlab pull requests & reviews. The only complication is approval then which would still mean manual steps. Patch review would also not be publicly visible and archived(?) so both chiming in late after visible progress and archeology would be harder. I think following all patch reviews by clicking on websites rather than watching gcc-patches is impractical. Richard.
