+@section Gerrit Review System
+
+All changes in the OpenOCD Git repository go through the web-based Gerrit
+Code Review System:
+
+@uref{http://openocd.zylin.com/}
+
+After a one-time registration and repository setup, anyone can push commits
+from their local Git repository directly into Gerrit.
+All users and developers are encouraged to review, test, discuss and vote
+for changes in Gerrit. The feedback provides the basis for a maintainer to
+eventually submit the change to the main Git repository.
+
+The @file{HACKING} file, also available as the Patch Guide in the Doxygen
+Developer Manual, contains basic information about how to connect a
+repository to Gerrit, prepare and push patches. Patch authors are expected to
+maintain their changes while they're in Gerrit, respond to feedback and if
+necessary rework and push improved versions of the change.

The result is:
