This is a new feature in Gerrit 2.14+, so we can setup reply emails so that users can reply to gerrit emails.
I have no idea if this will work for us without any changes needed.
See feature doc at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/Documentation/intro-user.html#reply-by-email

It won't work without config/setup on our end, no. And I think we should upgrade and then look into using it, not work on it beforehand (we don't have the feature now, so there's no rush to get it setup)
This requires us to set this config https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/config-gerrit.html#receiveemail
Actually I think this is kinda low priority since we don't offer the service yet--it would be an enhancement.
I could potentially like reviewing by email but:
Hence declining, even though it could have been be a nice feature to support :-]
like I guess nobody does Phabricator comments by emails.
Just for the records: A number of people do, actually. :)
