Well, practical question then - how can I view the links below in Gitorious?

BTW, are GitHub repos mirrored by Qt too?

Hint: A bit of constructive attitude will bring you far.
Gitorious just mirrors the repositories, not the code review
functionality. To view the commits, login to Gerrit.
As the login prompt states, create an account in
bugreports.qt-project.org (I believe you already have one). Then, use
those credentials to login to Gerrit.

No, the GitHub repos are unofficial and not part of PySide project setup.
Cheers,
ma.
I am as constructive as possible. The contributor agreement already
puts a high entry barrier for the new people, and further restrictions
on accessibility of developer information will do no good.
The problem with Gerrit links is that they are posted to the mailing
list. This list is read by users, who learn PySide. These users are
potential contributors. They might not had the need to write to the
list, so they probably read it from the web, and are not even
subscribed. If we say that 20% of users read PySide from the web,
that's a pretty big amount.
Let's assume that 80% of readers are subscribed. About 10% of them
have Jira account. About 50% of them are even logged in (because Jira
doesn't allow to OAuth/OpenID logins - that's a problem). So only 4%
can view those Gerrit links. I think that's a pretty low percentage
to take this issue seriously.

Why not just open Gerrit to anonymous read-only?

But if they are more convenient and stable that those provided by Qt
Project, why can't Qt Project sync to them?

Thanks for the heads up. It is nice to see I am not alone to take it
seriously. There is a hint that Jira is the reason, but no technical
explanation. It is very unusual that open process of open source
project with open government is locked be the dependency from
proprietary product. At least that's my impression.
I'll write to GEG list. It is not too active, so let's hope there are
people who can help.

I can't see if I wrote about it, but the issue about opening Gerrit to
public has been given Critical priority. ;)
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTQAINFRA-357
If the time permits, I am going to do some research about using
repose.who as an authentication server for Gerrit, so if anybody has
experience or interested to help - feel free to join
