To be clear, the requirements are just the points 1), 2) and 3); the rest is just my analysis on how to get there reasonably easily. Other paths may be possible of course.

Yes, I could use a third-party service. However, one of the reasons why I brought Trojita under the KDE umbrella was because I wanted to integrate with the wider community and make it easier for other to contribute. I could certainly run my own Gerrit instance, but I suspect I would have hard time persuading the sysadmin team to allow for authentication against the KDE's identity database.

Clearly, there's value in having a single tool for doing the reviews KDE-wide. I was thinking that the current tool might be improved -- so that people won't _need_ to use non-free third party services if they want usability improvements like better git integration.

Cheers,
Jan
