points to https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git which suggests to Download GitHub for Windows but using this Windows-Client, is it possible to contribute to MediaWiki?
Topic on Talk:Gerrit/Tutorial/tl;dr
We (qa/browsertests) have at least one contributor working on Windows. Why do you think that would not be possible?

@Zeljko.filipin: He's asking specifically whether it is possible to contribute to MediaWiki repositories (which are hosted with Gerrit) from the GUI app "GitHub for Windows" (not general Git command-line for Windows). It's understandable that that app might not be capable of interacting with non-GitHub repositories, though afaik that works fine. Note though most manuals all assume git command line, so even if it would work, you may want to stick with that for having lots of plugins and documentation to choose from (and other people who can help).
@Krinkle: thanks for the explanation.
I was pairing (remotely) with our OPW intern Rachel recently and she made a commit from Github for Windows app. As far as I remember the app did not add Change-Id to the commit message so Gerrit complained when she tried to push code there. Github for Windows is easy to install and has a good diff tool, but I would not recommend it for committing. The app will create Git Shell shortcut on desktop during the installation. I would recommend using Git Shell for committing.

Yuvipanda suggested committing to GitHub and G2G would care about the remaining parts. This seems to be convenient to me. (Currently I am using Linux VMs, that also worked fine but they always take ages to load).
