I'll see what I can do in my (spare time), but others are also willing 
to jump in and learn some errbot ;)

The previously mentioned examples of plugins (repeated here) are IMHO 
good things to look at if people are interested in messing around:

- https://github.com/harlowja/gerritbot2
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/343857/

I guess if people want to jump in and explore, message me as well on IRC 
(or email or smoke signals...),
