A lot of people dislike it, myself included. There was a yet-another

bad.

This still won't compare with a decent code review system:
- Externally visible queue of contributions, so that people from outside
can get a better look at Emacs development, and maybe learn something.
And speaking of debbugs, I can even get a list of "all bugs with
patches" from inside of Emacs.
- A working integration server that gives an overview of whether each
patch (or better: Git branch) compiles, passes tests, etc, which will
be a good reminder for a contributor if they broke something, even
before a reviewer is involved.
- Inline comments: hide the old ones as the discussion progresses, only
show the ones still pertinent to the current changeset (though this
part may be hard to integrate into Emacs either way). I was kinda
hoping it might would serve as an alternative for debbugs comments.
- If Git branches are involved, and ChangeLogs are phased out, an
automatic "merge this branch" action would be natural to use, instead
of doing the things you've enumerated above. If course, that's two
whole ifs.
