We have many requests to improve our code review and make it more like Phabricator and Gerrit.
We want to strike a balance between light-weight and powerful, but fully intend to give you all the power of a Phabricator or Gerrit in GitLab. We're working on several [0] initiatives towards this goal.
If you are interested in seeing these improvements in GitLab, please let us know what is important and what we're not seeing!
I'm not a GitHub user myself, only have experience with GitHub. The article I linked outlined it very well.
Essentially, what I need is code ownership (like Phabricator's "Owner" feature or Chromium's OWNER file: https://www.chromium.org/developers/owners-files) and essentially what's outlined in the article I linked (diffs instead of heavyweight merge requests).
