gerrit.wikimedia.org is a default git gateway for all of wikimedia projects, but it still has a number of issues compared to other (IMHO better) providers, like GitHub.

One of major issues I am now having is, that git needs to be accessed using non-standard port because regular ssh access is still being served on port 22. This is a problem on restricted networks where random ports are prohibited and blocked for various reasons, while standard ports like 21, 22, 80 etc are open.

I propose to move the current ssh port (22) to some non-standard port, as staff which needs to use it is far smaller than developer community that needs to access git (the server itself is for git only) and open port 22 as a gerrit (git) port. The current port 29418 can be used as well, so that nobody needs to update their repo's which were already cloned.

This is technically possible and I think it would make usage of gerrit much less of a pain in the ****.

Thanks for your considerations :P
