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!
