The 1) is actually not as bad.  Phabricator has subscribtion hooks, and many
committers have rules installed to get notifications of new reviews that
touch certain paths of code.

The problem 2), IMHO, equally applies to github and Phabricator.

I don't agree here. Looks like we should address those phabricator
submissions that go unnoticed due to lack of maintainers of a code.
I don't think submitting same patch to github will improve visibility.
