+#!/bin/bash -e
+#
+# Purpose:
+#  This script is responsible for determining the owner of a gerrit
+#  commit, verifying they are within an approved gerrit group, and
+#  then updating gerrit with that verification info.
+#
+# Note: It is assumed this script is run as a part of a jenkins job triggered
+#       by the gerrit plugin. Therefore it assumes certain env variables
+#       provided by that plugin are avialable (i.e. GERRIT_PROJECT, ...)
+#
+# Required Inputs:
+#  SSH_KEY:  Path to private ssh key used to post messages to gerrit
