What about changing gerrit to our needs? It's open source, I suppose.


That's of course the route we're going right now. The biggest hurdle
to doing so is that it's written in Java, and Prolog. Neither of those
languages are amazingly difficult, though, so I don't really see that
as a complete blocker.

The blocker for me was not the language, but the codebase. I wanted to make a small tweak to Gerrit so I started looking through the code. And I had absolutely no clue where to find what I was looking for. I couldn't make sense of what most of what I found was even supposed to do. And people have pointed out a number of issues with Gerrit like the way it handles output and css which feel much more like fundamental (ie: unfixable without practically rewriting) issues with Gerrit.
