I adore Gerrit (and it works only with Git, in several different modes).
I'd love to see one for all of Alioth.  But unfortunately the first step
in getting Gerrit on Alioth would probably be to package it for Debian in
the first place, which would require packaging several of its
prerequisites.  What I was told by the person who set it up for OpenAFS is
that getting it going in a properly packaged fashion is not trivial.
Someone with Java packaging experience would help.
