Diffs in mail notifications come for free in the ASF Git setup.

Commenting on diffs in the email is not the important thing. Having an
email means that another committer (i.e. someone with more knowledge) did
something.
The new thing is being able to comment on "the patch" (the Pull Request)
provided by a contributor *before* it gets in the repo. Usually the
contributors don't have the whole picture.
