I was somewhat joking, I'm just not used to gerrit ... And seems to indeed
be a lot more polished than last time I looked at it seriously.

Ok here's a few links. Aside from the usual patch view we've also added a
series view:

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/project/intel-gfx/series/?ordering=-last_updated

This ties the patches + cover letter together, and it even (tries to at
least) track revisions. Here's an example which is currently at revision
9:

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/57232/

Below the patch list for each revision we also have the test result list.
If you click on the grey bar it'll expand with the summary from CI, the
"See full logs" is link to the full results from our CI. This is driven
with some REST api from our jenkins.

Patchwork also sends out mails for these results.

Source is on gitlab: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/patchwork-fdo

Atm we use the CI stuff only on intel-gfx, with the our gpu CI farm, see
links above.
