I don't think one-time contributors always have a github account. Also, in most cases (I might be wrong here), one-time contributors don't care much about a review, so we could just forward their patches to gerrit. Can we not?

Also I might have a github account I can't remember right now, my contributions to flashrom would be less if I have to adapt to another (non-gerrit) workflow. Just a prediction, I don't even like gerrit. Nico _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list flashrom@flashrom.org http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
