That's definitely the idea! We want to run on top of Github/other git hosting solutions to be able to setup your own rules while being more flexible and better than Gerrit (we think that the commit by commit approach it's definitely not the most efficient one).

Since GitHub started to grow, pull requests became very popular for open source contributions. Now, companies are also using them to reinforce their internal code review process. We think this can work even better by building the next generation of pull requests, helping companies to improve their process.

My advice is to absolutely nail the abstraction layer between CI and code review. Remember that the most valuable software often has large build matrices and necessarily complicated code review <> CI workflows. Gerrit+Jenkins is actually surprisingly limited in these regards. GitHub+[Circle,Travis] delivers surprisingly close to the same level of flexibility here as Gerrit+Jenkins.

Super interesting feedback, I super appreciate it :) Actually we are working now to manage the whole merge process and then CI + code review is our next item to tackle.

I will keep you posted about our progress!
