It has a cli.

I believe you can also just pull anything up for review... So you
should be able to avoid the web ui.

I personally believe the requirements we have can be met by some
python scripts that just keep track of what e-mail threads are active
on SN, and possibly output a webpage :)

Note: I don't care if it is Gerrit, or just a set of python scripts on
sn that say "this e-mail topic is active... this one is being reviewed
by x, this one is closed."

Nobody says this has to be complex.  It as complex as we want to make
it, I explicitly stuck to giving requirements for a reason.  How to
implement those requirements in a non-odious way is another topic. :)
