Oh, sorry. No, we are not using ssb as a transport with gerrit.

I might be tricked into running locally (like git-ssb-web) but I think it has too much of it's own assumptions for that and really acts like a gatekeeper to your git repo.

adding another ssb message type for inlined comments, and then teaching git-ssb-web how to render them.

sounds like a much more reasonable approach.
