This is pretty much it. If you don't want to use GitHub you need 
to provide an alternative way of time-efficient code review. I 
remember checking few ketmar patches attached in bugzilla before 
with an intent to resubmit those to GitHub but after seeing no 
tests included and several style / implementation issues I have 
decided to simply not bother with it.
