It would appear from reading this page that the only alternative to Gerrit that has a serious following is GitHub. Is that the case? Personally, it seems like Phabricator or Barkeep has the best chance of dislodging Gerrit, but those won't probably get serious consideration without a champion pushing them.
As one quick update, we're also in touch with Evan Priestley, who's no longer at Facebook and now running Phabricator as a dedicated open source project and potential business. If all goes well, Evan's going to come visit WMF sometime soon, which will be an opportunity to seriously explore whether Phabricator could be a viable long term alternative (it's probably not a near term one). Will post more details if this meeting materializes.
Evan pointed me to the following pages which give some hints at Phabricator's longer term direction (requires logging in):
