Hi Patrick,

I'm a long time coreboot user on a Lenovo X230 and T430.

There's board-status which I started _years_ ago in the hope that somebody picks up the slack, but everybody has been busy, myself included. By now the collected information of the last 7.5 years is compiled into a 12MB HTML file that takes ages to render on moderate hardware (beware: https://www.coreboot.org/status/board-status.html), and the process to collect that data is mostly manual using pretty poor tooling. (Most of the links on that page don't even work anymore (which I'll fix) due to gitweb/cgit/gitiles changes on review.coreboot.org (and I only noticed by chance now).

First of all, from the perspective of a user thank you very much for creating that board status list!  Lots of good info on that page.  I refer to it fairly regularly as it's helpful to see what versions of coreboot have worked for others and how my coreboot config settings and kernel log compare to what others have used / observed.  I regret to admit that despite my intentions to contribute reports to that page I've yet to do so...

To this end, I invite people interested in that topic to chime in on this email thread so that we can discuss what we could do to provide a common place with information about which coreboot versions are bootable on which boards in a way that makes sense for everybody: users who are interested in such data as well as testers that already collect it but have no way to publish it.

Gerrit for whatever reason was and still is a bit foreign for me.  I'm fairly comfortable working with gitea, gitlab, github, etc. with pull requests.  I'm sure it would just take a bit for me to get familiar with the login and workflow, but I haven't done it yet.

It's probably stating the obvious, but with respect to the large single html page, breaking it up into separate pages by category (laptop, workstation, servers, etc.) would make things load quicker.  Otherwise I thought the general table format with timeline of submissions further below was pretty good.  One minor thing I notice is that the table is so big that I end up losing track of the column headers and try to remember what each column represents as I'm scrolling through.

Thanks again, Jason
