Previously someone looking for a review (read: any non-committer) would
export a diff from their VCS, upload it as a patch to trac, and then
reviewers could leave comments as trac comments. CPython's present process
is a clear improvement, insofar as Rietveld allows inlining commenting, but
it is otherwise basically the same.

By contrast, the Github process does not require a patch author to leave
their workflow, they simply "git push" to update a patch. We now also have
CI for PRs, but that's a recent addition.

It's not magic, it's a good UX :-)
