Currently we are using Patchwork to keep track of the review process:

Do we need an new tool? Managing reviews it supported by Gitlab.

There is no need for patman in a process with any of the mentioned
tools. Gitlab, Gerrit, and Github send out mails to reviewers.

The work flow with Gitlab and Gerrit that I have seen relied on a role
concept where only specific users of the system are reviewers. - Our
current process allows anybody to review. This is what I would like to keep.

Simon, could you, please, explain why you want to change the current
process.

Best regards
