I thought it depends on git-review itself rather than a particular
Gerrit version?

Patience as we figure out how to address those on a new Gerrit installation is much appreciated. If you're interested in hacking on Java and Javascript we'd love help with the plugins necessary to address the known problems. You should be able to build this out locally without any special access. Please let us know if you are interested and we can help you bootstrap.

Count me in if there are things to be done, might be able to spare
some time for Gerrit. :-)
We might want to port the live Zuul status reporter as well.
