the good thing Gerrit brought with it, compared to Zebrapig, was IMHO automatic testing via Jenkins.

I'm not really fond of the idea of outsourcing the hosting to a third party. While I realize that it would solve the current problem, distributing the weight of maintaining code-review-system-x, would solve it as well, without loosing control and bending to the rules of others. > That said, self-hosting is an option.

When I read the above and system requirements and combine it with own experience as well, I wonder what all that complexity, error surface and resource hunger adds, which is actually beneficial? They sure do *look* fancy, but IMHO that doesn't translate into ease of use. In the end, all I want are easy ways to put up a patch for review and to view patches from others. git format-patch | wgetpaste or git send-email, and applying them locally is easy and spectacularly inexpensive, compared to all those fancy web apps.
