Yes, it is difficult
It's hard to request new repository and have it created within short
period of time.
It's hard to navigate in gerrit
It's hard to checkout mediawiki repository, because it's huge
It's hard to find out how to commit / push (there is no guide how to
setup git so that it works as it is on github, unless you are git
expert you may find it hard, because you mostly need to fix your git
config files in order to be able to git push)

Have you wondered how GiGeGat [1] works for volunteer
developers if
even paid developers have difficulties with it? We have already seen
cases where it works, but we don't know much about the cases where
volunteers decide to give up.
Here, however, is one example [2] of the latter which I want to
highlight. The developer finds it too slow and complicated and wants
to move to GitHub and as consequence we cannot provide translation
services for his extensions at
translatewiki.net.
Anyone willing to dig deeper what problems there are and try to resolve them?
