I have one idea for low-hanging fruit to put new contributors more at ease: to explain a little about both when and why the "Merge" button is finally pressed on a change. I mean so that new contributors won't have doubts like "is it bad that my change isn't merged yet?", "am I being too meek?", "am I being too pushy?", "have I missed a step somewhere?", "how often should I skip dinner with my family to attend more/different IRC meetings?", and so on. I have had a good experience with this but that is many thanks to friendly people giving me informal feedback and reassurance outside of the Gerrit workflow and official docs. Cheers, -Luke
