For years, I’ve had a working setup that allowed me to update Sapphire’s simrel contribution. With changes to use Gerrit, I am no longer able to contribute. I’ve spent hours reading various wikis and I still cannot figure out what keys I need to have and where I am supposed to shove them. Maybe this stuff makes sense to someone already versed in Gerrit and SSH, but it doesn’t make sense to me.

 Frankly, this is a massive step in the wrong direction. Contributing to simrel should be made easier, not more difficult.

 I have a couple more hours I can devote to this at the maximum. If I can’t figure out how to get back to a working configuration in that time, I am taking Sapphire out of Mars.

Can you please share technical details (what commands you tried, what messages you got) ?
Have you successfully used Gerrit with any other project in the past?
Are you using the right URL ? https://wiki.eclipse.org/Simrel/Contributing_to_Simrel_Aggregation_Build#Get_the_simrel.build_project
Have you uploaded your SSH key to Gerrit ? https://wiki.eclipse.org/Gerrit#SSH_Keys
Did you try to use HTTPS instead ? https://wiki.eclipse.org/Gerrit#Git_over_HTTPS
