As Evan pointed out you can download pages from the wiki.
Maintaining the work-flow in the source code repository is not a good idea.

I can understand that you don't prefer using web browsers, but
gerrit's command line interface does not really allow you to
discuss changes. AFAIK you can not add comments to specific
lines or answer comments related to specific on reviews submitted
by you.
Basically not using a browser allows contribution but prevents full
collaboration.
