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.
Small update on this: I have now also added a function to import patches from Bugzilla. You can paste a bugzilla url (either for an attachment or for the bug) at http://tools.wmflabs.org/gerrit-patch-uploader/bugzilla/fromurl , which is also linked from the front page ('bz patch upload'). It load the patch and propose an author and commit message based on the data available in Bugzilla.
Very nice. :-)
I looked at your original e-mail and gerrit-patch-uploader itself and couldn't find a link to the source code. Could one be added to the user interface? I think it would help sustain the project.
I completely missed that the "Committer" name gets updated on changes such as https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/90002. I looked at the "Owner" field and got very confused. I'm not sure there's anything to be done about this. :-/ A note in the comments or in the commit message (such as a keyword) might have gotten my attention. This might just be me, though.
