What exactly do you mean by that, and why can't we do it like linux
kernel does it?

As I understand it, the submitter keeps reworking and re-posting
until they get a sign-off and someone puts it in.

If the submitter loses interest in the patch, is that a problem?
Nothing keeps us from creating an issue in the tracker, 
adding a link to the mailing list with the latest patch.

Of course, it would be nice if submitters got lots of positive
feeback, but I fail to see how a web tool helps with that.

And, of course, you being the main developer right now, if you
like the current tools and procedures, that's cool [of course
you saw Graham's review results and take learning and discouragement
of git-cl/rietvelt etc into account].
