I think our best mitigation strategy is to do as good a job as we possibly can integrating Gerrit with GitHub, combined with other improvements to Gerrit.
One thing I don't think has been explicitly said yet, although Brion hinted at it early on is the nature of the gerrit-github integration. Gerrit serves the required workflow well for things like core and key extensions and puppet, so having changes made via gerrit reflected in a github view is great for outsiders to explore and experiment.
But it would also be great, especially for certain types of community contributions, if we could approve pull requests from github and have those reflected in gerrit.
I realize this is all hand-wavy and stuff, but as Brion pointed out, it's all git. With some thought behind the design, a two-way integration between gerrit and github seems like it would be possible and useful.
