We're planning on bringing up Gerrit at UDS for tracking Android upstreaming. Perhaps it could be used for tracking GCC patches?

Probably not. It seems to be tied to git and requires the Android workflow. Here's our workflow:

Patches that are backported or unique to gcc-linaro are handled through the Launchpad merge request system.

Patches on mainline are constrained by mainline's method which is: * Send the patch to gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org * Iterate on the mailing list, perhaps in new threads * Get approval via reply to the latest post * Commit into svn

The final commit is automatically emailed to the gcc-cvs@gcc.gnu.org list.
