Will the pre-commit review work for non-Wikimedia extension commits, or that would be impossible due to shortage of reviewers? How will the commit queue work for non-Wikimedia extensions?
AIUI:
Extensions will default to having no gating/reviews. (if you have access to push to extensions at all then you have push access to all extensions that don't ask for a different setup) They can use gerritt if they like and if using gerritt they can specify their own list/criteria for the gatekeeper users.
There will be 2 (at least) meta modules which in turn just have git submodules. One will have all extensions and will be updated with new commit IDs by commit/push hooks on the individual extension modules. One will have just the extensions used by WMF. I'm not sure how it will be updated but I imagine one possibility is to do updates to WMF extensions or others sufficiently gated automatically and do manual updates (and simultaneously reviews) on updates to extensions with more open push control.
