Fyi, the current Version of Jenkins works just fine with gerrit 2.8.2 on my setup.

That was the plan when I installed Gerrit, unfortunately:

Buildbot's GerritStatusPush doesn't work with our version of Gerrit (2.8.3):

http://trac.buildbot.net/ticket/2550

Jenkins seems very nice and I'm not opposed to migrating to it, however
migrating from Buildbot to Jenkins would be nontrivial and Jenkins
appears to have the same lack of support for Gerrit > 2.6 as Buildbot:

If the build system had open access what would keep someone from
uploading a shell script containing a box full of weasels wearing clown
shoes?
