The Impala community is similar, with 50x more code review emails than dev@. Every review and patchset (in Gerrit lingo) produces a new email to reviews@ .

On my soapbox a bit, Gerrit seems to be a much more capable tool that Github’s code review offerings. As a result, my opinion about the balance of where discussions happen is colored by my love for Gerrit, as a user.
