Sigh, I find it highly sad to read this over and over again. People keep confusing the flaky CI and the high quality barrier in Qt with gerrit itself... Seriously, gerrit the tool is OK, what makes it hard and what is the actual barrier to entry in Qt are the flaky CI which kills productivity and then sometimes the odd reviews with a pretty harsh tone that demand an extraordinary quality without holding your hand much. But that's not related to gerrit... These are different things, so please people - lets not confuse these things and say using gerrit means using it exactly like Qt is using it!
1) I wrote "contribute to Qt" intentionally there, not "use gerrit", because I'm aware of the diff. Although no, my unhappiness is not limited to the CI; many of my problems are actually linked to the way JIRA and gerrit have been made to inter- play for auth. 2) I've posted other criticizims of gerrit in the thread for a fuller picture of how gerrit adds to the unhappiness. Jumping on this bit, hand- waving it away and claiming we're now left with "gerrit is OK" is incorrect.
