I'm wondering if a tool like Phabricator [1] would help here. It offers 
both interface and command line [2] to review, download a series...
I've just started to use it with FreeBSD and I find very handy for the 
contributors as you can keep track of comment addressed and see 
difference between revision...
I've added Roger who is using it more often than me.
