It is *sometimes* not expensive to do reviews. Sometimes it is quite expensive.
[...]I just want to chime in and say that a significant portion of my workday too is spent doing code review. I do find it relevant and useful, however I expect if you asked my employer they would not refer to my time as inexpensive... at least I certainly hope they don't see me that way. Code review done right takes significant time, and I'm not even sure I'm doing it entirely "right" in many cases, but I also prefer not to see the effort I invest devalued as "not expensive."
a Gerrit instance that probably doesn't exist any more
[...]If you're referring to gerrit.openafs.org, it's still up and running. As an aside, I really wish the GitHub/GitLab generation could experience and appreciate how superior of a code review platform Gerrit really is (not as much the one for OpenAFS because it's not been upgraded in close to a decade, but more generally). Not going to turn this into a religious debate though...
