If you have a git clone of the repo (like most folks I think), you just need to send it. non-spam from non-subscribers are approved. To use gerrit you need to subscribe, which means you need to create a login or use your google login, which some folks object to, on various grounds. Or we need to run the gerrit server, allow for other auth, but have the time (which we don't have) to run another bit of infrastucture. I'm not saying it's an insurmountable hurdle, and if we take the approach that people doing more than a one-off submission need to use gerrit, we would probably survive. -- Tom
