What does this mean for the hosting of Gerrit though. Does this mean
that Gerrit has to be on a server with enough space to host all the
trees that will be put through review? Is it one tree per-user?

Ok, that sounds like the biggest chunk of work. Are there any standard
extensions to Gerrit to drive some of this?

To me it seems like we need:

  * cron job/daemon to poll Gerrit for approved reviews
  * This does the test merges and leaves comments on Gerrit if something
    doesn't merge
  * It then triggers a test build on the build system and waits for the
    result. If it fails it leaves a comment on Gerrit linking to the
    build record.
  * Then we want to add LAVA in to the mix. I think this needs further
    discussion before we can include it in the plan as there would seem
    to be many open questions.

Thanks,

James
