Hello all, With the upgrade of Gerrit, I have also taken the time to improve the Reviewer bot. For those who do not know: the reviewer bot is a tool that adds potential reviewers to new changesets, based on subscriptions [1].
One of the problems we have encountered is the use of the SSH-based Gerrit change feed. This effectively requires 100% uptime to not miss any changesets. This has now been solved: we are now using the mediawiki-commits mailing list, and are reading the messages in a batched way (every five minutes). This change also makes development & testing much easier, which is a nice bonus. On the backend, there are two changes: instead of the JSON RPC api, we are now using the REST api, and we have moved hosting from the toolserver to translatewiki.net (thank you, Siebrand!)
