do you think there's a substantial number of reviews done by people who don't 
have the commit bit? and that their review is a substantial help for the patch 
throughput?

i don't really have data on this, but my (moderately informed) impression is 
that it's not really a relevant amount.

and as for the efficiency of the new workflow: i think it strictly depends on 
how easy it is to script the new infrastructure. and if the new infra has more 
structured/formal ways to store/access the data than debbugs and mailing lists, 
then i'm pretty sure it can only make scripting easier. then scripts and emacs 
based tools could serve the power users, while the web UI could serve the 
occasional contributors.
