Gerrit has a bad reputation, and seemingly well deserved. Just
yesterday, Andrew Klapper was asking in a bug a submitted if the
pywikibot would not prefer getting patches in gerrit directly and I
was like "oh God, plese don't let that happen" :)

Patches via the bug tracker are of course still welcome. A simple 'upload a patch' option in Gerrit would have been useful, though...

But if the review is the major problem on Windows, why not go with
github? There you can do basically everything online, including
applying patches.

Switching to Github doesn't help much, for several reasons. First of all, the main problem is the windows git tooling in general, not gerrit specifically. Github still basically requires you to do stuff from the command line, as github for windows does not actually support a triangular workflow. That means it doesn't actually gain you that much over actually using Gerrit.

In addition, there is support under way to connect Github to Gerrit, which would allow you to submit pull requests in GH.
