They provide the infrastructure because I asked them if they could.

My initial plan was to host gerrit on sourceware, but after a bit of
discussion on #overseers, I realized that it would be hard to run the
latest version of gerrit on the machine. Moreover, unfortunately gerrit
doesn't handle user registration by itself, so that meant that I'd have
to set up something for that as well (we all have users on sourceware,
but they don't have passwords associated with them).

The current plan is to run gerrit on the OSCI infrastructure for a
while, and see if the GDB community likes it. If we do, and if we
decide we want to make gerrit our official patch review system, then we
will eventually migrate our instance to sourceware. When that time
comes, we should probably resurrect this conversation, because then the
repository will be hosted in an "official" resource.

Thanks,
