Advanced Reviewing:

However, the Ubuntu kernel team has developed a couple of nice scripts which help with reviewing a large number of patches. First you need to install the kteam-tools from the kteam-tools git repository at git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/kteam-tools.git. Add the maintscripts directory to your path.
