Andrew, your email reads like a plea for help with OpenBMC project 
infrastructure (systems that host OpenBMC servers for Gerrit, Jenkins, 
and related CI).  If so, it may help to understand the current 
configuration.  Here is my understanding:

- GitHub (source code mirror), hosted by GitHub at 
https://github.com/openbmc (various repos).
  - Gerrit (code review tool), hosted by 
https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz (and redirected from gerrit.openbmc.org).
  - Jenkins (CI server), hosted by https://openpower.xyz, proposal to 
move to a new server at https://jenkins.openbmc.org.
  - Various CI build and test servers (run jobs on different hardware 
architectures).
  - See history in 
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/openbmc/2016-July/004280.html

Then reading questions into the email:

  * Are community members comfortable with these Gerrit and Jenkins
    servers in terms of ownership and administration privileges?
  * Should we have a larger variety of CI servers?
  * Do we need help administering these servers (workload: reboot
    servers, update Jenkins version, restart CI jobs, etc.)?
  * What are the project ideals?
