and I am still not sure why we go though all this trouble with
gerrit, the value it provides for Tycho is small to no at all
imho.
From my POV, I find that Gerrit makes contributing more complicated
than it is with Bugzilla:
1. It requires additional configuration and understanding of Git and
Gerrit. For non daily Git-users, this can be a real effort.
2. It is difficult to follow and participate to discussions across
Gerrit and Bugzilla: I often don't know where a comment is the most
relevant. Bugzilla or Gerrit? Tracking is more scattered.
3. And finally, patches have to go on Bugzilla for Eclipse IP
process.
I am also doubtful about Gerrit at Eclipse. The lack of integration
with Bugzilla and Eclipse IP process (which only support the concept
of patches) make it require some extra-work for low added-value. I
think it tends to slow-down contribution lifecycle and is a
complicated step that may prevent some contributors from going
further.
My 2c.
