sounds sweet. imagine applying gerrit to infra

spot on.

That said, I am unsure if most people here are ITIL aware/certified.

TBH, the primary reason why I am familiar with ITIL is our clients from Accenture days requires certification to win contracts.

Yeah, it is cool - https://opendev.org/ is done that way, as is some of the wikimedia labs infrastructure

I am not certified either - I have just worked in places with ITIL inspired processes, but I can really see a way they can move forward with tools like terraform / pulumi / ansible and git
