I was wondering if you'd be open to creating a gerrit repo for GTag? That way you would get automatic access to updates and other things.

I'm not interested in putting anything on Gerrit for the time being. The upsides are not worth the downsides in my opinion (that is: lack of ultimate control over what does/doesn't get merged in and the fact Gerrit itself is a gigantic pain in the rear to work with).

I may re-evaluate when/if GitLab happens, but even then the control issue still exists. I have had issues in the past where well-meaning contributors break the compatibility policy with their updates or just outright break the extension in general due to not understanding what it does (and not testing), and someone else who similarly has no understanding and didn't do any testing +2's it.

Understood. I just discovered this and deployed it so I thought I'd ask.
