I'm not sure is that useful, because Gerrit can already notify you of new changes for any project: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/settings/projects
What might be better is getting added as a reviewer when certain files/directories are changed (especially in mediawiki/core)

Hello all,
To add to the great work by Ori and Jon, I have my own recent pet project to announce: Reviewer-bot, which adds reviewers to any new changes uploaded to Gerrit.
The basic idea is as follows:
- reviewer-bot listens to Gerrit's events stream
- a contributor uploads a new change (only the first patchset is
reacted upon) 3) reviewer-bot checks http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Reviewers to see which reviewers would like to be added to new changes 4) reviewer-bot adds the reviewers to the change
Obviously, it's still in it's infancy, so it will probably crash every now and then. However, please try it by adding your gerrit username to the Reviewers page!
Of course, I also have the obligatory 'Fork me on github!'-notice: the code is available at https://github.com/valhallasw/gerrit-reviewer-bot .
I hope that, together with the RSS-based approach by Ori and the daily digest-approach by Jon, this will help to improve the Gerrit experience - especially for new developers!
Best, Merlijn
