Good hunting Ryan.

Well I can add an item to the infra meeting next week[0] to get some
opinions from others about this feature, if we are willing to administer
it and how the process will look if we do.

Please attend the meeting to present your thoughts and answer questions
during the discussion. I can refer to this thread if you aren't there
and you can read the log[1] of the discussion after it takes place but
it is always a better outcome if you can attend and represent your own
interests.

Thanks Ryan,
Anita.

We are looking to use some of the Gerrit REST API operations that require authentication but according to this page [1], our account needs to have a Gerrit http password set up. As far as I know, our CI account was only given access to Gerrit via ssh keys meaning we would have to use the command line API.
