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?
