This elegantly summarizes the point I tried to make. I'll have a look at the links David posted. Thanks David!
One thing I found lacking with all those tools so far was proper integration with a mail feed, which seems to be a hard requirement for coreboot.
It's not that hard to automatically fetch all attachments that look like patches from the mailing list and figure out which of our subprojects it belongs to. It's very hard to automatically figure out if a patch is committed, so the ticket in the patch queue / review tool could be closed.
That means, that we'd either have to force people to use the tool instead of just the mailing list (good luck with that), or we'd need to clean up the database of that tool manually (good luck with that, too).
The other missing feature in review board half a year ago, when I installed a test instance of it, was support for patch queues, eg. 6 successive patches that build on each other. That would require rather ugly workarounds. It might be supported by now.
