Sometimes Gerrit unnecessary slows down the development - you have to wait 
for somebody to review your changes. It is especially painful when you 
handle several things simultaneously. So I'm not sure if we should make it 
the mandatory step after becoming the committer. Every committer can take 
the code and adjust it when they think sth can be refactored/implement in 
better way. Hovever I think, introducing some changes that can break 
sth/block sb or you are not sure if it is correct we should commit changes 
via Gerrit to get feedback,

+1 for preparing the Hudson build for E4

[e4-dev] Mandatory Gerrit usage for the e4 project?

Hi,

I grew very found of using Gerrit instead of direct pushes to the Git 
repo. I see the following advantages:

1.) I can validate myself, if I pushed the right thing. I frequently see 
in Gerrit that I pushed unintentially whitespace and I can correct that 
before I commit
2.) I document what I did for others
3.) Others have the possibility to see what I did and can comment or learn 
from it
4.) It is IMHO fair to Eclipse contributors as I use the same workflow as 
contributors

What is the general opinion about Gerrit? If the majority of e4 committers 
is in favor of using it, I would like to suggest that direct pushes are 
disabled so that every contribution would go via Gerrit. 

We could (in the future) also setup Gerrit build triggers to validate that 
change don't break the build. 

Best regards, Lars_______________________________________________
