Hi,

I'd add to this that I found getting gerrit changes pretty trivial using 
gerritlib (well, my control flow in that WIP is dodgy, but that's more a 
combination of my inexperience and my lack of time). Updating the 
bug/task-tracker from those changes, however, would be different for 
each tracker, so you wouldn't be able to do that part in a generic way. 
Plus, while analyzing the data from the stream could theoretically be 
the same, in practice different data might matter for each tracker, and 
one might be looking for a different regex in the commit message, etc. 
So I think the only part that can be generic will be getting the changes 
from gerrit, and from other comments on this thread, it sounds as though 
people have already covered that.

Best Wishes,

Zara
