yes, there is not much special about Chrome OS chroot, but it makes things easier and applies the pre-upload checks if the repo utility is used. The same checks could be run manually, and outside chroot, but this would require some discipline.
I mentioned cros sdk because Paul said he was missing the repo manifest.

appreciate your contributions.
Actually, I have been contributing to various Chromium OS project over the years and never had to setup the whole cros environment.
Not only is it possible to build the software outside of the cros build system (e.g. such as it's done in the coreboot build system directly or through my build system[0]), but it's also possible to send patches for review without it.
The Chromium Review Gerrit[1] works pretty much like the coreboot one, except that it may use https and a cookie rather than ssh and a pubkey for pushing. So once the account is setup on Gerrit (requires a Google account AFAIK), you can simply push to projects like that:
git push https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec master:refs/for/master
And that usually works well for me. Just keep in mind that you need to include custom tags, such as Change-Id, TEST= and BUG= in the commit message.
Cheers,
Paul

Dear coreboot folks,
GCC 7.2 found several issues in the Chromium EC code base, like #770209 [4], and I prepared patches, but unfortunately, I do not know how to push them for review.
- The instructions don’t work for me [5]. I can’t find the manifest
file, which seems to be required by the utility `repo`.
- Also, in the preferences menu of the Google Chromium review system,
I cannot find a way to upload my SSH key.
- Is there a mailing list for the Chromium Embedded Controller
development?
Thanks,
Paul
