I'm not going to be doing anything with the testing system myself, but
that's an interesting idea. Does anyone have any experience with how
they work in practise? I was only vaguely aware of them, and searching
for the web I mainly found notes on git. I did see that Gerrit uses
them (although I expect we'll use github for code reviews?), and
there's a Jenkins plugin to use them to record test results, so there
must be some real world experience.
