Hi,

As you might be aware, we have been working on Gerrit upgrade and we now have 
some news.

Plan is to upgrade current 2.2.1 based version to 2.7 based. Our customized 
features, staging system for CI and one page review, are refactored for 2.7 but 
need few days to complete. We'd like to ask help for reviewing these changes 
and I'll get back to this later this week.

Target date for production deployment is 7th March. Schedule is not frozen and 
it must be in sync with Qt5.3 release plan to keep that safe, not compromising 
the Qt release.

Some background from development point of view shortly. Initial idea was to 
implement all the customization as Gerrit plugins. Unfortunately the plugin API 
doesn't offer access to core elements of the Gerrit. For example allowing to 
add new states for staging feature. So this approach failed and we decided to 
go old way for now, customizing newer Gerrit version with patches. Knowing that 
work would be quite challenging, we chose version 2.7 over 2.8 because 2.8 
seemed to be more risky having new change screen and Buck build system.

Best Regards,
Ismo
