Thanks a lot for all your hard work. I think Phabricator definitely
looks much more newcomer-friendly on the surface than Gerrit, although,
knowing there is a web-form available for uploading diffs to Gerrit
(will that handle follow-up patches, too?) goes quite some way in
addressing the entry barrier issue.

But beyond review functionality, I think moving towards a more
integrated solution is clearly a step in the right direction, and this
is what makes the choice of Phabricator over Gerrit a clear case to me.

Also, definitely a huge thank you to Jan for investing so much work in
the Gerrit setup. Clearly that was in the hope of making Gerrit the
solution of choice, and I think we can all feel your pain, if that is
not going to be the case. But I don't think it would be the right way to
go for KDE.

Regards
Thomas
