CPython's present process is a clear improvement, insofar as Rietveld allows inlining commenting, but it is otherwise basically the same. By contrast, the Github process does not require a patch author to leave their workflow, they simply "git push" to update a patch. We now also have CI for PRs, but that's a recent addition. It's not magic, it's a good UX :-) Alex
