imho GitHub has the potential to get us a first patch from many
contributors that won't arrive through gerrit.wikimedia.org first. It's just a lot simpler for GitHub users. Some of those patches will be good, some not so much, but that is probably also the case for first time contributors in Gerrit.
+1 to me the need to create a gerrit account is a huge barrier for entry. I think we are missing out on attracting small but useful patches from developers who are not heavily invested in the project and have no wish to become regular core contributors...
When a developer submits a second and a third pull request via GitHub
then we can politely invite her to check http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit and join our actual development process.
