All emails should go to the -patches lists, these would include initial patch email, comments and commit - but yes, they do not include the payload. It doesn't include the inline, since we had some issues contributing that code to gerrit upstream (well, their gerrit was down, then some CLA issues - hopefully all resolved by now). > > In short, how can one be a silent observer via a mailing list and get a good > feeling for what's going on in the project? > > Is there a way to make Gerrit send the actual patches to the various mailing > lists as they're posted for review (along with review comments to those patches)? As I mentioned above, we saw this gap as well, and (Gal Hammer) wrote a patch for gerrit to close it. But I did not want to build a forked version of our gerrit until these patches are accepted into upstream gerrit. Once they do, either will wait for the next version, or just backport this specific patch to the version we have. Btw, you can also register in gerrit only to specific project and get the emails directly, rather than via the mailing list. (login, settings, watched projects, choose per project (or even branch) granularity to watch new/comment/submit emails.
