Probably doable, once we get patchwatcher back up.

Android has a git-compatible code review tool called gerrit, iirc. It looks a 
bit painful to set up, so I've never given it a try myself. But even if we 
had such a tool I'm not yet convinced it would help much. There's too many 
areas where you're not scratching anybody else's itch. And if it doesn't have 
emacs integration, Alexandre won't use it ;).

Of course I'm happy to be prooven wrong on this.

Cheers,
Kai
