Antoine
edit- Updates:
- Overhauled Gerrit upgrade process to make it almost trivial
- Quibble 0.0.47 released (CI images to be updated)

- Blocked by:
- Jenkins Gearman plugin magically exploding most probably due to a race condition. Zuul requests to cancel a job or update a build discussions are not executed and pill up. Fix is to restart Jenkins :-\ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281737
- Blocking:
- Training Ahmon/Brennen for Gerrit. Gotta clear out the doc https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gerrit/Upgrade
