A suggestion made by sysadmins was to start with just a couple of repos to 
prevent further confusion and to build some confidence slowly. The 
suggestion was specific not to go with all of frameworks at once. I wanted 
to respect this suggestion, which is why I went with just two repos at 
first.

If you would like all plasma to go, just give me a list of repos and I can 
make it happen.

A random data point -- I asked a 3rd-party contributor to send a patch to 
Trojita through Gerrit earlier today. He accomplished that goal so fast 
that I asked him for an estimate on how much time it took. The answer was 
15 minutes, including reading the docs and setting up the client-side 
hooks. Quite frankly, I don't think I was faster when I first used 
ReviewBoard.

In my opinion, the purpose of this test is not to verify that Gerrit works 
or that the ACLs are set up properly -- both were done already. What I 
think is the goal here is to give the maintainers some possibility of 
playing with Gerrit and seeing whether they want to use it in their 
projects.

If the maintainers of these projects would like to take part of this 
experiment, I'll be more than happy to configure stuff for them as well, of 
course.

With kind regards,
Jan
