There are several ways to achieve this, gerrit is one tool that is
getting popular, another is manual integration by a human (as done in
git, and as effectively done in plt during releases), and yet another
is a tool that picks up patches sent to a mailing list and stores them
in a place that is convenient to later merge.

All of these will make developement much harder, more so given the
high percentage of git newbies which will need to face an even more
complicated workflow.
