I've never used gerrit, but from my skimming of
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/git-review#Setting_up_git-review
and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial#Configuring_git-review
it seems (to me) to say that it simply tries if your local loginname
works on the remote. Is rpjday your loginname on this system?
