Quotas on GerritHub.io

[Luca Milanesio]

Hi All,

Just wanted to drop a quick note on the recent announcement that you might have
seen on GerritForge's blog at [1].

To cut to the chase, we're introducing a 2GB repo-size quotas on GerritHub, which will be officially turned on the 23rd of February 2026, using the quota plugin.
The purpose of the change is to preventing abuse on the system and ensuring that GerritHub.io stays free, including ads-free for everyone.

The 2GB limit was set based on the current use of GerritHub.io, the *very* small number of repos that go over that threshold are either inactive or can be counted in less than the fingers of one hand.

I have already contacted one privately and also made exceptions for the open-source projects, such as NFS-Ganesha [2].

For those of you that don't know what GerritHub is, just watch my YouTube video at [3], some key facts here:
- Built and published 12 years ago (!)
- 60k projects hosted for free
- 20k users

In a nutshell, GerritHub.io allows you to utilize Gerrit Code Review on top of your public or private GitHub repository so you can
get the code review experience of Gerrit and your project still has the visibility that GitHub offers.

We fully shoulder the hosting costs, and as we intend for the service to largely
remain free we need to keep an eye out for our to ensure that nobody abuses the
resources we provide.

If you have any questions or doubts feel free to reach out at [4].

Luca.
