The tracker has zero support for efficient patch review.  Tools like
Rietveld and Review Board are designed for efficient patch and code
review, and not much else.  I don't think you can use the fact that
people find it hard to work with a tool that makes it hard to do
things as an argument against using a tool that makes it easy to do
things...

(has anyone compared Rietveld and Review Board, btw?)
