Description

https://go.dev/wiki/GerritBot vs https://go.dev/wiki/gopherbot

I see that only GerritBot is said to sync PRs, but real comments about PR being synced are made by @gopherbot (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/73314#issuecomment-2794809383). If they too work together, it would be nice to document how, ideally with mermaid diagram. And if GerritBot is not commenting at all, why is it called *Bot in the first place?
