The log message (description) of a change is important (particularly for some
project's cultures), but reviewers often forget to review it, or if they do, it
is awkward to do.
Gerrit solves this by adding a magic file to all patchsets, so it can be
reviewed with per-line comments. This also allows you to see how it changes
over time, rather than only showing the current version.
Chromium bug on the issue:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=169249
I'm working on this now, would love feedback from Rietveld-land if anyone
thinks this is a bad idea, and I'll put it into Chromium directly (this is a
big feature request for us).
