I agree with this sentiment. I haven't gave up on the process those few times I did a review, but I still find it very annoying that I need to re-login every time, especially given the process is not so straightforward. It would be nice if my login lasted forever. Another reason is that by default you're subscribed only to patches you're explicitly mentioned in. So unless you make a conscious decision to enable notifications about all patches, you won't even notice there is something to review. And then you have to figure out how to enable this. So it may help if you was offered to select project you're interested in during user registration and you're subscribed to all patches from those projects. -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.
