Maybe we can figure out a way to archive Gerrit discussions

- kashyapc 2y agoSPoF is not the only concern. Gerrit search is painful. You can't search the internet for a keyword that you wrote in v10 of some Gerrit patch, unlike on list-based workflows. Also, there's too much point-and-click for my taste, but I lived with it, as that's the tool chosen by that community. It's on me to adapt if I want to participate. (There are some ncurses-based tools, such as "gertty"[1]; but it was not reliable for me—the database crashed when I last tried it five years ago.) In contrast, I use Mutt for dealing with high-volume email-based projects with thousands of emails. It's blazingly fast, and an absolute delight to use—particularly when you're dealing with lists that run like a fire-hose. It gives a good productivity boost. I'm not saying, "don't drag me out of my email cave". I'm totally happy to adapt; I did live in "both worlds" :-) [1] https://opendev.org/ttygroup/gertty https://opendev.org/ttygroup/gertty
