Curious if there are any efforts underway for email interfaces?

I see this as the primary obstacle to switching to Gerrit for existing projects that are using email review. Migration of an existing project would require some transition, and after using Gerrit along side of an email interface for a little while might convince some to switch to Gerrit.

From a project maintainers point of view, I see an email interface as a pre-requisite as I want to be sure that all review comments are incorporated whether they come from the mailing list or from Gerrit.

An email interface is planned, but nobody is working on it. Issue 228 [1]
in our issue tracker at least documents the feature request. :-)

Issue 97 [2] might be related, as it talks about accepting a GNU diff
file via a form upload. That's probably most of the effort required
to also accept patches off an email list.
