Miles,
If found migration to gerrit for EMF to be yet another painful step with
the migration from CVS to (E)git being the first one. So incredibly
many magical settings and so many fundamentally important new concepts.
In the end though, I can definitely say that the pain is worth the
gain. If you're even a little bit serious about opening up your project
up to external contribution and really expect it to happen, you're
missing the boat if you don't migrate to gerrit, which makes it
incredibly simple for *anyone* to develop a contribution, i.e., anyone
in the community can actually commit the changes in their local clone
back to your Eclipse gerrit clone, which can be configured to run your
build and run all your tests to confirm that the contribution doesn't
break the build or tests, and then you can simply review and accept the
contribution and by doing so, commit it into your real git repo. Of
course gerrit is useful even just for the committers of a project,
allowing you to run a build and the tests before you commit back to the
real git repo, and naturally you can then do reviews easily and can run
further test the patches locally (once you learn more of the git magic
for how that works and don't shoot your own foot off in the process).

I just tweeted about my disappointment in how many projects have not yet
enabled Gerrit. Chris A. pointed out that it wouldn't be a bad thing to send a
reminder to x-platform . All joking
