I have an opened tab with it and I should try it, but I wonder why we need
gerrit if it a bad thing for a lot of contributors? Is there an alternative
for it?
Btw, I'm ready to have local instance of gerrit for myself. But I didn't
find a way to configure it to use upstream API.

with the time for it. (I haven't had the time myself).

It looks like there is an app for android -
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jbirdvegas.mgerrit , but,
unfortunately, I have a phone from Apple and I didn't find anything for it.

I'm upset that classic theme was able to be used on mobile phones and new
one do not...
