Overall, I believe e-mail is fine up to a certain point, but Coreboot and Flashrom both have enough developers contributing that it's worth moving to a more advanced SCM.
I don't think the two are actually mutually exclusive.
Git is already quite email affine and gerrit comes with good tools allowing other data entry points than the web.
I've made a pact with Patrick on IRC to look at an email->gerrit bridge, that would simply take pgp signed email Acked-by: to count just as web clicks.
Requiring PGP signature on acked-by emails is an acceptable price to pay when the benefit is that the commit will be pushed to master repo automatically *and* the entire process has been tracked and is trivially browseable online.
Even for me (heavy email user + severe web allergy) gerrit looks grreit!
