Gerrit is a hosted service, no?

Their comment was about not having any hosted service though.

What does that even mean? If it's a service, it's a program running on some computer somewhere. Is that not hosting?

They were talking about hosting the git repository via sftp - so bare file transfer - a bare repository. And how that was enough for them.

While that is also hosted, and hosted through a service, it's only a file transfer service and hosting.

That means specifically without a hosted service like a forge or gerrit.

Which is why I was interested in how they handle stuff that is usually done through such forges and services / hosted software.

Oh I see. The Linux kernel has been doing fine with mailing lists (LKML) for decades, if that helps.
