I think I'm not on that list, I'll sign up and look at it, see if I can 
figure out something.

About that error, yes, Me and Antoni Segura (apuimedo) troubleshot it, 
the problem is that one of the developers has non ascii letter on it's 
name, passing it to the author tag on gerrit, that loads it on 
GERRIT_*_AUTHOR env variable. Not sure if antoni is working on a patch 
or notified someone though.
