Hi,
The Gerrit upgrade finished, and the new and shiny Gerrit v3.2.2 is
live now on gerrit.wikimedia.org and is good to use again.
Please test and if you run into issues, don't hesitate to file a
ticket in Phabricator (Bonus points for adding the 'Gerrit' project
and/or making T254158 a parent task)
Huge thanks to all the people who helped. Foremost mutante and paladox
who both spent countless hours to prepare the upgrade. Also hashar
whose help around CI and deployment was invaluable. And all the other
hands who helped in preparing and deploying: thcipriani, jynus,
marostegui, godog and all whom I've forgotten.
This was a huge team effort. Thanks all!
Have fun,
Christian
