It's confusing because it differs from the GitHub's one? [*] Or you are
missing the Gerrit instance to be able to focus just at the most preferred
issue and have easy way to comment on that one? Or the ticketing system?
Anything else?

So the issue is git-email setup? [*]

[*] As already mentioned, it's documented at:
    https://fedorahosted.org/scap-security-guide/wiki/becomeadeveloper

but maybe it should be improved to be more elaborated / sophisticated like
e.g. oVirt's one:
  http://www.ovirt.org/Working_with_oVirt_Gerrit

is (so interested contributor could "in five minutes" finish the setup easily,
and start looking into the issues)
