At this time, we're not planning on using any of the other features of Phabricator, and the use of Phabricator for reviews is very much *an experiment* - we intend to see how this is going in a little while (probably around the start of the 4.4 cycle). If you're more comfortable submitting and reviewing patches as plain email, that's fine - use of Phabricator is optional. In the meantime, you'll see e-mails coming to the mailing list when activity happens in Phabricator--hopefully we've hit the right settings to make this useful without being too chatty.
