I am subscribed to receive the gerrit notifications but others may not be.
I do try to be responsive to contributions from gerrit, but some of the
contributions I simply do not have the knowledge to handle.  For example,
native launcher changes.

I've talked to a few at eclipse con this week and it does not appear to be
an easy thing to fix at this point to make the gerrit builds work.  For the
short term we may have to disable the build verification from gerrit.  I
agree that the situation is not good for contributions.  I'm told this is
similar to the settings used by the eclipse.platform.runtime git repo by
the way.  They have similar issues getting the gerrit builds to work.  I
would love to have them work, but fear some very significant build
restructuring would have to occur in order to get it to work.

Lets be clear, right now committers in equinox (and there are not a lot)
are not using gerrit to contribute our own contributions to Equinox.  In
fact we setup our gerrit configuration such that the committers still can
commit without going through gerrit.

      So yes, it’s clear that the Equinox project doesn’t use Gerrit.
As a reminder, here is the page where Gerrit users can receive Gerrit
notifications to react accordingly:
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/settings/projects
Committers should register for the project they are committers on, it's as
important as following Bugzilla notifications.

Maybe Equinox committers just forgot to do so and weren't aware of those
incoming reviews and build failures.
