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)
I am really not a fan of Gerrit, but this is an exaggeration.
What is true, however, is that the documentation is still not great. There is [[Git/Workflow]], which is 30 pages long. [[Git/Tutorial]] was supposed to make it simpler, but it grew to be 36 pages long.
Based on the idea that describing hard things on one page with useful links can make these things easier, I just attempted to write this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/TLDR
Hopefully some people will find it useful. Feel free to edit it, but don't let it grow longer than one (printed) page.
