Hi,
I just received an email from this bot, unfortunately that was undesirable.
Its not necessary to cc the original author of a patch when adding a
reviewer, so is the case
when adding a reviewer manually.

Hello all,
To add to the great work by Ori and Jon, I have my own recent pet
project to announce: Reviewer-bot, which adds reviewers to any new
changes uploaded to Gerrit.
The basic idea is as follows:
1) reviewer-bot listens to Gerrit's events stream
2) a contributor uploads a new change (only the first patchset is
reacted upon)
3) reviewer-bot checks
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Reviewers
to see which reviewers would like to be added to new changes
4) reviewer-bot adds the reviewers to the change
Obviously, it's still in it's infancy, so it will probably crash every
now and then. However, please try it by adding your gerrit username to
the Reviewers page!
Of course, I also have the obligatory 'Fork me on github!'-notice: the
code is available at
https://github.com/valhallasw/gerrit-reviewer-bot
.
I hope that, together with the RSS-based approach by Ori and the daily
digest-approach by Jon, this will help to improve the Gerrit
experience - especially for new developers!
Best,
Merlijn
