One might use github as described or the gerrit patch uploader.

If you are not interested in becoming a "MediaWiki hacker" but just in that some minor but annoying issues are fixed, gerrit/git is overly complicated; at least without a web-interface like github has. None of its so called "benefits" (like the local database) will help you; instead it adds unnecessary CPU load and consumes your power while resolving the edit-deltas. A waste of energy and resources.

From the parent Gerrit page: "To simply browse & fork our code you can use the GitHub mirror." You can link to a github patch in a bug comment.

Thank you. Once G2G is fully functional, this won't be an issue anymore! And I hope it will be mentioned somewhere. Sometimes it's just a style bit to be fixed…

Until we're at this point, can you estimate (or did anyone analyze this) how much longer it takes when putting the patch in github compared to putting it directly into Gerrit?
