I agree that Gerrit is a bit of a barrier, but it's also where most
other MediaWiki development happens, so it's a good way to get more
contributors to this skin. Also, one day we'll be moving to GitLab, so
that'll be much easier! :-)
Maybe we could add to Foreground some built-in parser functions for
producing some of the Foundation components:
https://get.foundation/sites/docs-v5/components/kitchen_sink.html
And maybe even some sort of front-end site config form for Foreground,
so wiki admins can make changes.
But first there's a bit of bringing-up-to-date to be done. I'm hoping to
help with that.

Gerrit/Phabricator is a bit harder to get into for those not so
familiar with it but I'll have a looksy. I am close to migrating away
from Foreground actually, but seeing as Mediawiki's skin ecosystem is
a sh***show, the choice out there is rather limited. I would love to
stick with Foreground, but only if the skin could gather some steam.
Adapt to latest underlying tech frameworks and become a tad more modular.
I have been testing Tweeki and I like it alot, but its one maintainer
hasn't shown himself in the repository in over a month, that's not an
encouraging sign ... I want to migrate at least one large production
wiki to that skin, so ....
Maybe Foreground could adapt some of what Tweeki has: lots of config
possibilities without touching code, latest bootstrap tech, option for
sidebars....
cheers
