You can simply bookmark ITK if that is all you are interested in,

http://review.source.kitware.com/#q,status:open+project:ITK,n,z

We could add a forwarding URL such as review.itk.org etc that would make
this the default view. You can actually watch the project(s) you are
interested in if you would like to be emailed when new patches are submitted
too.
