Workflow Idea for 4.10

[Ignat Semenov]

Hello fellow KDE devs!

While I'm not an experienced developer nor manager, the planned transition 
to gerrit really troubles me. In particular, I have the following questions:

1)The gerrit installation used in qt makes it impossible to add comments 
other than directly to the diff. No way to add comments on the main review 
request page as it is in the RB installation we're currently using. Is there 
any way to overcome that limitation?

2)The user interface of gerrit is horrible to say the least. The diff / 
comment area is the last class citizen there. RR is way more clear and user-
friendly (esp. newcomers).

3)Does this transition mean we will have to use the full gerrit contribution 
cycle, like it is in qt now, with branches and the special tools, even for 
the smallest fixes? This will drive off new contributors, I'm afraid.

4)The Qt gerrit installation requires authentication just to browse the 
existing requests read-only. Is it possible to do it differently or is this 
a shortcoming of gerrit ( or its "design feature")? Pretty user- and 
newcomer-unfriendly, too.

Best regards,
Ignat Semenov
