One more point that I forgot: moving to a forge could be even more
beneficial for increasing the number of people reviewing patches.  For
submitting a patch, the current workflow is unusual but not so
complicated. For reviewing, I don't even know how to do it, in
particular how to apply and test patches from an e-mail message in a
sufficiently automated way. In contrast, on a forge, I could well
imaging participating in reviewing patches for ecosystems I am familiar
with.

Cheers,
  Konrad.
