I generally keep track of dev activity only through the emails sent. I don't mind getting duplicate emails either - it's not too hard to write a filter to take out the stuff you're not interested in.
Interestingly, I've never noticed whether 'start a review' sends one email or many; mostly because gmail does a nice job of grouping the emails together. I have seen a single email with many comments being sent out so the feature did work as advertised at one point. That said, if there is a way I can stay updated via email (repo watching, jira updates, etc.) then I am fine with turning the feature off.
