Hi Marc,

The preferred way to do this is to submit patches to Phabricator[1]
I use Arcanist CLI (as described here[2]) to submit/update patches
and Web UI to discuss review feedback. Don't forget to add
developers to reviewers/Cc list since, unlike bugzilla, there is
no general mailing list for new reviewes. If you're not sure who to add,
create a review and send URL to a relevant mailing list.
