Well, my personal perference is for all patches to go through Gerrit,
committers and non-committers alike.  But Eclipse IP policy is likely
going to force us to duplicate stuff into Bugzilla Just Because(TM).

Gerrit has access control rules that give committers a bit more
power than non-committers, like being able to actually put code into
the trunk.  But any registered user may upload a patch for review,
comment on a patch, or vote for or against inclusion of a patch.
Not too different from Bugzilla being equally open.

Once committers have registered accounts, I can put them into the
group which gives them the more powerful widgets.

As far as uploading a patch for review, its literally just:

  git push ssh://username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:29418/egit/parallelip-egit.git HEAD:refs/for/master

Or if you do this often enough, setup a remote:

  # setup
  git config remote.review.url ssh://username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:29418/egit/parallelip-egit.git
  git config remote.review.push HEAD:refs/for/master

  # all later uses
  git push review
