Why ? Because fark the gerrit web ui thats why. 
A simple git extension that makes interacting with gerrit less painful by wrapping the gerrit ssh api. Use it to:
-1 ✨ALL✨ the reviews!
...or you know, list review's, approve them, whatever floats your boat.
fgerrit will try to pull gerrit information automagically via your git config. To do so it checks to see if you have a gerrit remote branch by running a git config --get remote.gerrit.url. If you don't have gerrit a remote you can pass in the options at the cli. Or better yet, set the env variable:
export GERRIT_URL=ssh://[email protected]:29418/yourproject
It's just a git extension, just give it a try in a repo that uses gerrit. Heres a few quick examples to get you started.

fhines@ubuntu:~/omgmonkeys(master)$ git fgerrit -l`

git clone http://github.com/pandemicsyn/fgerrit fgerritcd fgerrit
Now either install via setup.py or build a debian package with stdeb
- via setup.py
sudo python setup.py install
This will drop the git-fgerrit command into /usr/local/bin so it'll get picked up by git.
