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.
