Well, that's pretty much what we already have.  If one can't link
related reviews in a manner that you can, say, _pull_ a reviewed patch
(which should automagically fetch any dependencies), I am not all that
clear of what it actually gives us in addition.

The basic advantage that I see is a separately maintained repository for
reviews, meaning that review material does not clutter up the main
repository permanently (once a commit has entered a repository, it is
close to impossible to remove all traces of it again).

Hm.
