Doesnt email run the risk of a patch slipping through the cracks?
as highlighted by Deepak above, each project will use the processes/methods inherited from its 'upstream'. That's why gerrit is being used for Android activities for example. many successful open source projects are using solely email for patch submission and review, and that happens to work fine. yes, that makes lots of emails, and patches can be lost, but the general rule is that it's up to the patch author to follow-up and potentially resubmit when such things happen. for example, the Linux kernel documentation says this:
