I am just describing the system as it actually exists, not really
defending it or anything. The way I look at it is that if you want to
get a patch in, you have to bear some of the burden.
gdb tried a patch tracker for a while but it didn't prove to be very
popular. Maybe most maintainers prefer working via email; but it is
hard to know for sure.
Recently some GCC developers started using Rietveld for patch tracking
and review:

Doug suggested using it for GDB as well, but AFAIK nobody has set it up.
Maybe if you set it up, people would use it.
