I think we can rely on the v4 list, which is already used for longer 
discussions.

> * Workflow for creating changes, testing/reviewing (core devs and others)
Copy the URL presented by gerrit and paste it to the command line. Don't 
know, what's the best-practice for windows ;)

> * How to handle versions of patches/changes (in case of negative reviews)?
Check the patchset out, modifiy it, push back to gerrit.

> * How to handle minor (CGL) changes "on commit"?
Commit is done by pushing a button in gerrit. Just modify it, push back 
and then wait for reviews or commit to main repository.

> * How to handle FYI72 (and other time periods)?
Core devs are able to vote +2, while others can only vote +1. +2 is 
required by gerrit, so as core dev, we can directly push things through 
without other's reviews.

> * Tools? Integration with PHPStorm (for core devs available) or other
> git clients on various platforms?
Interesting thing.. Ingo twitter sth. about a first gerrit integration 
for eclipse. Don't know, how easy it is with other clients to switch to 
the new branch created by gerrit.

That's one thing, for which I will really fight for improvements. I just 
want to wait for a mantis/redmine decision.
We definitely need improvements to mantis (ermm.. I'd love to have some 
improvements), like auto-closing on commit, maybe auto-opening on 
gerrit-push, better categorization and a few other things. Is there 
already a decision mantis/redmine? Redmine is not able to handle private 
issues has been the con until now. Does this still hold?
Would be nice to have information in this. If we stay with mantis, I 
will do some research and thoughts, what I'd like to see improved.

Kind regards
Steffen
