just my set of thoughts, if we have an automation management product, why not 
utilize it?

Because there is a huge overhead to doing so and very little, if any, benefit.

In this case it will also significantly reduce system reliability, for the cron 
job to work all you need is:
# Cron to be configured
# The script to run
# A network connection to Gerrit

With Ansible OTOH you need:
# A way to trigger it - as you mention, but this is a Gerrit group, there is no 
built-in mechanism for triggering when it is changed, so now you'll need some 
kind of (Jenkins?) job to poll it.
# A host to run Ansible from
# Network connectivity and SSH permissions from this host to all other hosts
# An inventory you need to maintain (as you mention), or build more automation 
around.

So many moving parts you'd need to create and maintain... and then you expect 
it to be reliable enough that youre ability to login will depend on it... 
really I can't see how Ansible makes sense here.,
