It capitalizes on git's "git send-email" feature. This is in adherence to Sourcehut's general design, which is to make simple, reliable products. The official website is at https://lists.sr.ht, and they have a tutorial on setting your git client up at https://git-send-email.io

Cons
Con The UI is very cluttered
Gerrit's user interface is very cluttered and messy, and quite ugly to look at. The navigations is also not very intuitive, which may hold some people off.
Con Difficult to customize
Fixing the UI/UX problems with CSS customization is nearly impossible. The markup doesn't include many classes, making it difficult to target CSS rules to specific elements of the interface.
