When we switched to Gerrit, we decided to still allow patches per email
and also on GitHub. Though, all patches have to go through Gerrit in the
end as that's where the official repository is.

I've never been active on GitHub (my account is only few months old).
And the developers that set the flashrom mirror up there obviously had
the best intentions (pull requests are mentioned in the project des-
cription) but aren't actively reviewing atm.

I also can't say anymore that everything on Gerrit gets a review, though
smaller changes do. If you'd use Gerrit, you'd hit the remaining active
reviewers right in their everyday workflow.

I just tried, it was horrible ;) I just can't find a way to comment on
individual commits of your PR (beside commenting inline in the code).

I'll leave some comments their and pull those commits that seem ready
to go.
