This documents a mechanism for using GitLab Merge Requests as an optional, secondary way to get code reviews for patchsets.
We still require all patches to be emailed. Aside from the potential usage for code review comments, it might also help reviewers to find unmerged patchsets which need review. (Assuming it doesn't fall into the same fate of patchwork with hundreds of open MRs.)
