Miles,
If found migration to gerrit for EMF to be yet another painful step
with the migration from CVS to (E)git being the first one. So
incredibly many magical settings and so many fundamentally important
new concepts. In the end though, I can definitely say that the pain
is worth the gain. If you're even a little bit serious about
opening up your project up to external contribution and really
expect it to happen, you're missing the boat if you don't migrate to
gerrit, which makes it incredibly simple for anyone to
develop a contribution, i.e., anyone in the community can actually
commit the changes in their local clone back to your Eclipse gerrit
clone, which can be configured to run your build and run all your
tests to confirm that the contribution doesn't break the build or
tests, and then you can simply review and accept the contribution
and by doing so, commit it into your real git repo. Of course
gerrit is useful even just for the committers of a project, allowing
you to run a build and the tests before you commit back to the real
git repo, and naturally you can then do reviews easily and can run
further test the patches locally (once you learn more of the git
magic for how that works and don't shoot your own foot off in the
process).

I just tweeted about my disappointment in how many projects have not yet enabled Gerrit. Chris A. pointed out that it wouldn't be a bad thing to send a reminder to x-platform . All joking aside[http://milesparker.blogspot.ca/2013/01/adopting-gerrit.html] it really isn't hard, just click here!!
