Patches are sent to the list and can be reviewed quite easily there (for subscribers, anyway). The issue we have is manpower and, more importantly, manpower of people with enough knowledge to judge whether a patchset has side-effects beyond the obvious. in the end, such patches tend fall on the shoulders of a few and adding another tool that they have to check will increase, not decrease, the workload for those.
