If you have a git clone of the repo (like most folks I think), you just
need to send it.  non-spam from non-subscribers are approved.  To use
gerrit you need to subscribe, which means you need to create a login or
use your google login, which some folks object to, on various grounds.
Or we need to run the gerrit server, allow for other auth, but have the
time (which we don't have) to run another bit of infrastucture.

I'm not saying it's an insurmountable hurdle, and if we take the
approach that people doing more than a one-off submission need to use
gerrit, we would probably survive.
