I did mention how Android used a homemade tool to do
the reviews. It was
introduced to me by a friend who is doing Android development for mobile
phone companies. At first I was like: what about the existing google
code or github? Then he explained me their pre commit workflow and it
made me sure we wanted to use that.
I think Ryan met the OpenStack folks who are using Gerrit. That probably
convinced him it was the right tool for us too.
Actually, we started using Gerrit for Ops before OpenStack switched to
it. It's just a happy coincidence.
