You're being a little silly here. :-)

I think I agree with you that keeping the change and the related
discussion together would be nice. The question is: how do we make Gerrit
less painful to use?

Would it be possible to have Gerrit import a JavaScript page from
MediaWiki.org (e.g., "MediaWiki:Gerrit.js")? This might allow dedicated
users to override some of the default behavior (such as the block-level
comment auto-collapsing) or add new functionality (such as a "reply" link
similar to Bugzilla's).

Gerrit supports both inline commenting and block-level commenting. The
inline commenting is actually even more difficult to find and follow than
block-level commenting, in my opinion.
