This is about https://go.dev/doc/contribute#review

As long time Open Source contributor and heavy GitHub user, I struggle with the contribution process for Go because of the Gerrit workflow and UI. The Gerrit UI and process is very different from GitHub. For example, I got patches stuck for weeks just because the answers to reviews I had written were just drafts and not sent to the reviewer.

So it would very helpful to add:

  • some basic tutorial for the contributor point of view, with screenshots:
    • how to reply to comment
    • the workflow state schema
    • what to do when a patch in "Your turn" state
  • links to a Gerrit UI onboarding

This presentation seems to have good in-depth content, but goes too deep for someone who just want to send one patch to the Go project.
