Well, so bottom line of this, as far as I see it, is: Gerrit is de facto tool for Android, and for Linaro Android we'd like to be sure that it supports more flexible/advanced approach than which is seen typically in Android shops. It's also nice idea to select single official Linaro git review tool. But I agree that Gerrit doesn't immediately fit with canonical kernel workflow, while its choice is almost fixed for Android by upstream usage.
Note that QEMU also uses GIT but has a different workflow that probably doesn't fit Gerrit.
Yep. QEMU review is straightforward on-mailing-list stuff. What QEMU could use is better patch tracking (patchwork has several fatal flaws for our purposes, unfortunately), but there doesn't really seem to be any demand for a better review tool.
I've yet to find two projects that have the same workflow.
Agreed -- "do what upstream does" is much more important than trying to do the same thing across all of Linaro IMHO.
