I personally feel that the CF process isn't limited by technicalities like the commitfest UI or by the lack of random reviewers. Its limited by the amount of available reviewer time of people with in-depth knowledge of pg and committer bandwith. Trying to solve that problem via technical means doesn't seem likely to work out very well. > >> The existing Gerrit community would be keen to have the PostgreSQL > >> project as a major user, though, and would theoretically help with > >> modification needs.

I'm assuming we'd be tiny. Well, with gerrit you do far more work inside the application in comparison to what we are doing today in the CF app, so part of this probably is just that more work is running through it...
