The last week, I've been working on a web interface to upload patches to Gerrit. This would allow people to contribute, even without using git for more than 'pull' and 'diff'. One could even use the SVN mirror on github to update & generate patches.
This is super-neat. Thanks for working on this. :-)
It uses OAuth to identify the user to prevent abuse, and the OAuth identified user will be listed as committer name in the commit. The username shown as 'owner' in Gerrit will still be 'Gerrit patch uploader'.
This part is a little confusing to me. Is it possible (or desirable) to integrate with wikitech/Labs/Gerrit/Git usernames instead? Integrating with mediawiki.org feels a bit strange.
Possible enhancements:
* allow file upload of a patch; * "upload an patch" --> "upload a patch"; and * perhaps set patch input text area to use a monospace font and/or a code editor.
Thanks again for working on this!
