That depends on what you're looking for. Gerrit puts emphasis on review of 
individual patches. It will present related patches "together", but you 
won't be able to review them as a single entity -- the goal of Gerrit is to 
ensure that the history is clean, and it is operating under an assumption 
that each commit matters. Unless I'm mistaken, a GitHub pull request shows 
you a diff which represents the starting point and the final point of that 
branch as a single unit, with an option to go into individual commits. 
Gerrit is different -- not worse, different :).

Regarding the "testing of Gerrit", I haven't received much feedback yet. 
Three repositories are using it so far (kio, plasma-framework, trojita), 
and if a repo owner/maintainer of some other project is willing to take 
part in this testing, I won't see a problem with it.

With kind regards,
Jan
